If you dont have much luggage and are told you will be the last drop, you can pay less sheks and be dropped at The Main Bus Station (not the one you mention in East Jerusalem) and then take the Light Rail Either way theres no vehicle entry thru The Damascus Gate its foot traffic only and a bunch of steps from the road to the gate
