Jerusalem–Biblical Zoo railway station is a defunctIsrael Railways station on theJaffa-Jerusalem railway, located in the southwestern part of the city next to theJerusalem Biblical Zoo. The station saw limited service; with only 26,445 passengers recorded in 2019, it was the country's second least-used station, ahead of onlyDimona railway station.
Service to the station has been suspended entirely since March 2020 due to poor usage combined with the economic impacts of theCOVID-19 pandemic.[2] Since 2021, the whole rail section betweenBeit Shemesh railway station and Jerusalem is inoperative until either a replacement is found for the decommissionedIC3 trains, or the line undergoes a massive renovation.
