In 2015, Egged sold the bus route and its double-decker buses to Yara Tours. During Yara Tours' operation of the route, it was available by request only. By 2016, Yara Tours had completely ceased operating the route; the newest bus from the fleet was sold, and the older buses were retired from service.
