Transport in Jerusalem

City buses and trams

Bus station in Jerusalem

The bus station in Jerusalem is located in the city center, coordinates: 31.788851, 35.203055. The station is large, with cafes, places for rest, intercity buses leave from it to the largest cities of Israel. It is advised to avoid evening time for the trip, since from 16:00 - 18:00 the bulk of the local population goes home, and you may not have enough space for the flight you need.

Egged bus company and how to get to Ashdod

The Egged intercity bus network departs from here. The fare to the port city of Ashdod is 344 RUB \u003d 19 ILS and takes one and a half to two hours, the time depends heavily on traffic jams. Currently, major interurban highways near Jerusalem are expanding, and new roads and tunnels are under construction.

A ticket can be purchased both at the box office and from the driver. Bus numbers to the port city of Ashdod: 438 and 448. They depart on average every half hour. Until recently, the Egged bus company was almost a monopolist in the transportation of Israel. Now the situation is getting better.

Company website where you can find out routes, costs and even purchase tickets: egged.co.il

Minibus taxis

An alternative way to travel between cities are fixed-route taxis, and a denser schedule. They depart from the street adjacent to the bus station.

Transport in Haifa

Railway

Haifa City Railway Station - Haifa Center HaShmona is located near the seaport, serving cruise ships. The seaport is connected to the railway station via a viaduct, which you can walk on (200 meters), or you can take taxis, which are expected near the port and the station itself, if you wish. Coordinates: 32.822197, 34.996928.

Trains in Israel are very clean with amenities. The fare, for example, from the Haifa Hof HaKarmel station - the city beach to the Haifa Center HaShmona, is 10 USD \u003d 6. ILS You can purchase a ticket at the ticket office, just like in a ticket vending machine, paying in cash or by credit by card.

Near the station there is a local bus station where you can catch buses number 331 and 332 going to Nazareth.

Note: a feature of Israel is the fact that at the entrance to the railway station you will be asked to go through the metal detector, and things such as a laptop or camera, you will be asked to present for inspection. In this case, you will see that the military, in uniform or civilian clothes, pass through the same metal detector without inspection, despite the presence of military firearms.

I always advise everyone to walk: you look at people, raise the general tone of the body, absorb the atmosphere of the city and have a chance at any random meetings that diversify life. Along with this, of course, there are distances in which you need to use something with wheels, whether it be a car or some kind of public transport. In this article I will try to briefly tell you what types of transport are available in Israel.

In any case, the center of Tel Aviv, as well as the Old City in Jerusalem, is definitely on foot or by bicycle. Just do not forget to “arm yourself” with a bottle of water, a hat and smear with sunblock (and not for!)!

Buses

Convenient and comfortable mode of transport, although prone to traffic jams. In Israel, there are two large bus companies: Ea guide operating intercity flights throughout the country and intercity flights in most cities (except for large Tel Aviv); company website where you can see how to get from one city to another: http://www.egged.co.il/RU/  - and the Dan company, which carries out intercity transportation along the "Greater Tel Aviv" (Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Givatayim, Bnei Brak, Rishon Lezion, etc.): http://www.dan.co.il/russian/  . Fare in the city bus: 6.8 shekels ($ 2). It is possible to buy tickets for the day, month, on different routes combined with the train, etc.

Trains (electric trains)

Taxi

Convenient for short distances. Taxis, for example, in Tel Aviv, can be caught very easily on almost any street and at any time of the day, just go out on the road and raise your hand! This is the only way to travel by private passenger transport in Israel, except renting or having your own car - there are no "private traders" here.

When is it worth taking a taxi in Israel? For example, drive from the sea to the city center, or from one end of the city to the other. Or, if you need to get out somewhere on Shabbat (Saturday) when public transport in Israel is resting :)
   The approximate cost of a taxi ride in Tel Aviv is 25-50 shekels, Tel Aviv is a small city, you can drive across it for 35 shekels (about $ 10). Taxi drivers love "Russo-tourist", so be sure to ask the taxi driver to turn on the COUNTER! ... If not, then blame yourself, on our portal you read the right advice :)

Route taxi

Very comfortable, but a bit more expensive than buses. There are in all major cities of Israel. The main advantage of minibuses is that they go on Shabbat (from Friday evening to Saturday evening), while most public transport in Israel do not work. Minibuses usually go from the central bus station in one city to the CAC in another. For example, with CAC in Tel Aviv, you can take a minibus to almost all the major cities of the coastal line (and not only) of the country: Haifa, Netanya, Hadera, Jerusalem, Be'er Sheva, Rishon Lezion and others. From Haifa minibuses go to most cities in the north of the country. Prices: 6 shekels (7 at night and on Shabbat) inside the city, from Tel Aviv to Netanya 14 shekels (20 on Shabbat), to Haifa on Shabbat 45 shekels.

Green Bicycles in Tel Aviv

If you are in, and you like the idea itself - I highly recommend it, in 20-30 minutes you can ride all of Tel Aviv by bicycle, which is what many tourists and residents of the city use. Municipal green bikes can be taken at one of dozens of stations scattered throughout the city, and returned to any other - which is VERY CONVENIENT! You can rent a bicycle by credit card for a day, several days or a week, the rules and prices can be viewed on the monitor located at the station. The cost of a 24-hour rental, for example, is 17 shekels on weekdays, and 23 shekels on weekends. A weekly subscription will cost you 70 shekels.

Be sure to fasten your bike when you leave it on the street, they are shamelessly stolen. I advise you to remove the saddle and take it with you. Sometimes on the streets you can see well-dressed ladies in a hat, with a handbag and ... a saddle from a bicycle. Do not worry, they are just prudent too :)

If you don’t have a credit card, you can rent a bike for 50-70 shekels a day in almost all private stores selling them, don’t settle for more! There will be another agency across the street.

Aircraft

Israel has one major international airport - the well-known Ben Gurion Airport, the country's first prime minister. Most international flights arrive there. There are also several domestic airports, some of which also accept international flights, for example, Ovda Airport near Eilat and Eilat Airport itself, to which vacationers arrive at this very southern Israeli resort. Domestic flights fly to or from terminal 2 at Ben Gurion Airport, or from the small Sde Dov Airport in the north of Tel Aviv.

How to get from Ben Gurion Airport?

● In Tel Aviv. At the exit from the terminal, you will always have a taxi waiting for you, who are happy to deliver you anywhere in the country. Just go out, raise your hand - and it is yours. A taxi from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv will cost around 130-150 shekels - about $ 40, travel time about 25-30 minutes, depending on the particular point in Tel Aviv. Please note that if you arrive in the region of 8: 00-10: 00 hours on a weekday, you will have a traffic jam at the entrance to the city, which can increase the travel time to an hour. Accordingly, the cost.

If you arrive on a weekday (Sunday-Friday to noon), I advise you to go by train, it will cost you 16 shekels (4.5 dollars) and will take you to Tel Aviv in 18 minutes. If you are in the city center and the sea (namely, there are favorite places for tourists), then get to the Tel Aviv-a-Shalom station, go outside and take a taxi to the exact address: with suitcases around the city to the stop and then from it in the heat it is better not to dangle ... you have a vacation)

If you want to use exclusively public transport, then take the train to Tel Aviv Merkaz station (Savidor) and from there take the number 18 Dan bus (such a blue one) to the city center. The fare on the bus is about 7 shekels ($ 2).

The so-called "transfers" for tourists will also cost you around 60-70 dollars, depending on the number of people.

● To Jerusalem  The capital of Israel can be reached by Nesher minibuses; they run all day from the airport to Jerusalem and back.

● In Netanya, Hadera, Ashdod, Ashkelon and other cities of the coastal line of Israel can also be reached by train.

Rent a Car

Renting a small car in Israel (class B, for example, Hyndai i20) costs around $ 30-40 per day, depending on the company: avis, budget, and so on.

I do not recommend tourists renting a car for the entire stay in Israel: the country is small, in cities such as Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, it is difficult to find a parking lot, especially in the city center or in the area of \u200b\u200bbeaches. And even if you find it, you will have to use specialized Israeli parking payment systems on blue and white curbs or park your car in paid parking lots for a price in the region of $ 8-15.

And if you do not pay for parking, then in a couple of minutes the car will not be in place: this is one of the main income items of municipalities, and the streets are constantly “patrolling” in search of someone writing a parking ticket. The fines are high: from 100 to 500 shekels - and for towing a car to the fine parking lot, you will have to pay about 1,000 shekels.

You can rent a car if you plan to visit the Dead Sea and Jerusalem on your own, or spend a couple of days in the north of the country. Attention, gasoline in Israel is expensive: about 7.5 shekels per liter (more than $ 2).

Useful sites and applications

First of all, http://www.bus.co.il/, it also has an application. There you can see which bus to travel from one point in the country to another. I also advise you to download the moovit application, it offers the same thing.

Conclusion

The transport infrastructure in Israel is constantly evolving and improving, new roads are being laid all the time, interchanges are being built, a new high-speed railway line is being laid from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a new tram system is being developed in the center of the country (partially underground, a la metro), they say in 10 years it will be. It should be borne in mind that the country is young, almost 70 years ago there was almost nothing here ... So there is still a lot of work.

There will be questions - write in the comments below, I will try to answer with pleasure!

In Tel Aviv, there are two major city carriers companies. Once they were one company, but in recent years they have disconnected. In the city you will see two bus companies: DAN and Eget.

Cost of public transportation in Israel?

The fare on buses is different, and it also varies from the distance you need to travel. The fare is paid at the driver’s entrance. He will surely ask you the final stop of your journey.

The whole calculation goes through a special cash register. The driver will give you a check. There are also all-day travel cards, they say they can significantly save your costs, but you need to buy them if you travel often. Issuing such a card will not be easy, you need to take a picture for it and the registration takes place somewhere in the company’s office. Where exactly, we did not specify.

The transport system in Israel is well developed. A public bus service connects you to Jerusalem. The number of buses and their direction is surprising. We looked at directions of routes on the website www.bus.co.il. This site really helped us out.

Basically, if you need to go from one city to another, then all buses will go from the main bus station. Translated into Hebrew, the bus station sounds like "Tahana merkazit." Since we lived in the town of Rishon Le Zion, the fare to Tel Aviv cost us 6.60 shekels per one way. Buses are very comfortable, the automatic system voices stops in advance, so it will be difficult to get lost.

Taxis in Israel are very expensive. This type of transport is suitable for wealthy people or for young people who return from a night club. Public transport stops walking early, around 11pm, depending on the flight number.

How to get to mini Israel?

Mini Israel is a theme park located between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and just a 15-minute drive from Ben Gurion International Airport. The park features over 380 miniature models of Israeli attractions. You can get to mini Israel by bus at number 433. The ticket costs 18 shekels one way per person.

How to get from Tel Aviv airport to the center?

You can get to Tel Aviv and other cities:

• By taxi. You can order a taxi in advance, and do not worry about whether or not you will reach your hotel.
• By train. The railway station is located on the first floor of terminal No. 3. During the day, trains leave every 20 minutes, at night - every hour. From Monday to Thursday, as well as Sunday, trains operate around the clock. On Friday - from 00.00 to 15.00 hours; on Saturday - from 20.40 to 23.10.

Tip: Save train tickets until the end of the trip, the output will be an electronic terminal for checking tickets.

• By bus. To get to the center by bus, you first need to take bus number 5 and get to the stop “Airport City”. Then transfer to the city bus number 475. He walks to the central bus station in Tel Aviv. Buses 405, 945, 423 and 947 will take you to Jerusalem and Haifa from 5.30 to 23.00 every half hour, except for Shabbat.
• On the minibus. Minibus is a popular transport in Israel. You can find a stop near the exit of terminal No. 3. On the minibus, you can definitely leave for Haifa and Jerusalem. As for Tel Aviv, check on the spot.
• By taxi. Taxi, as I wrote earlier, expensive in Israel. But its plus is that it works around the clock and even on holidays. The approximate price of a trip to Tel Aviv is $ 50-60 for three passengers. Prices for intercity transportation are fixed.

How to get from Tel Aviv to the airport?

1. By train. There is a direct train from Agan railway station to the airport. The fare is 15 shekels per person one way.

The train has free wi-fi.

At the entrance of the station, an inspection is carried out through a metal detector.

2. By bus. From the central bus station, by bus route number 475 to the airport-city stop. Then transfer to bus number 5, which will take you to the Airport.

How to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem?

You can get to Jerusalem in several ways:

• By bus. From Tel Aviv Central Bus Station, take bus number 405 to Jerusalem's Egged Station.
• On the minibus. The departure point is located to the right of the central bus station (if you face the station). Minibuses go not according to the schedule, but according to occupancy.
• By train. Having looked at the schedule on the website of the railway of Israel
• Together with the tour, on the bus.

When traveling in Israel, remember that at each stop there is a sign with numbers and bus schedules. So you will not have to stand in vain at stops or ask passers-by.

In Tel Aviv, it’s easy to get to the right place, even if you don’t want to drive. Tel Aviv is not so big and it is very convenient for walking. In addition, there is a comfortable and cheap public transport, and - the traffic allows - you can easily get from anywhere in the city to any other. The Israeli railways, with four stations in Tel Aviv (as well as one in Herzliya and one in Bat Yam), have convenient and affordable trains, and two local airlines provide domestic flights between Eilat and Ben Gurion Airport, Dov airfield North Tel Aviv and Haifa.

Cycling in the park

Buses are the most popular form of public transport in Israel, both for local and long-distance trips. Most intercity bus routes are provided by Egged, and in the Tel Aviv area, where private bus services also exist, Dan is responsible for public local and intercity transport. Most city buses run from around 5:30 AM to midnight. Buses - like trains, by the way - are comfortable and air-conditioned, and bus service is regularly provided on busy roads.

Public transport does not go around Tel Aviv during Jewish religious holidays and on Shabbat (from sunset on Friday to Saturday evening). However, taxis and minibuses (public transport called Hebrew in Hebrew) work all the time, except for Yom Kippur (Doomsday), which Jews consider the holiest day of the year.



City buses start operating from 5:30 a.m. to midnight

There are a lot of taxis, although during rush hours problems can sometimes occur. You can "catch" a taxi on the street, as well as call him by phone through a special application, such as Gett.

A ride on the bicycle

In Tel Aviv, more than 100 kilometers of bicycle paths are equipped, and bicycle rental services from the municipality are provided under the Tel Ofan project. Outstanding bike rental stands scattered throughout Tel Aviv make cycling easy for hours or days; You can rent a bicycle at one of the many self-service points, and return it to any of them. It is also possible to rent an electric bike from private suppliers.

In Tel Aviv, a well-developed public transport network, represented by buses, minibuses and trains. The most comfortable and fastest means of transport are trains, the cheapest are city buses and minibuses. Attention! On Shabbat - on Saturdays - transport in Israel does not go, with the exception of some of the Sherut and taxi routes, in which at this time there is an increased tariff.

Payment for travel in Tel Aviv

The official currency of Israel is the shekels (NIS), 1 shekel is equal to $ 0.25 or 16.2 rubles. Paying for public transport in Tel Aviv is carried out in the following ways:

• Buses  Directly to the driver or at the box office at bus stations.
• TrainsAt the box office at railway stations or in special machines.
• Minibus Sherut.Directly to the driver, the Rav Kav Pass in Cherut is not valid.

Rav Kav Pass

Rav kav - This is a personal electronic card, which can be replenished with the required number of trips at railway stations and used for traveling by train or bus in the territory of your chosen city of Israel. Rav Kav will suit you if you plan to travel a lot on the same company buses in the same city. Bus routes in Israel are served by different companies, so if you plan to travel with different bus carriers, you will have to pay separately for the fare in each company and put these funds on your Rav Kav card. A total of 8 carriers can be credited to the card.

The rules for using Rav Kav in different cities of Israel are different. In Tel Aviv, you must put at least 30 shekels ($ 7.7) on this card on this card. When using a card, you can save up to 20% compared to the usual tariff. Upon entering the bus, the card will be scanned by the driver, and the ticket price will be deducted from it in the direction in which you are following.

There are two types of Rav Kav travel cards: personal (personalized) and anonymous. For tourists, the anonymous Rav Kav travel card is suitable.The cost of such a ticket is 5 shekels ($ 1.28) + the funds that you put to pay for the fare. In order not to get confused, you can purchase a separate Rav Kav card for each bus company you intend to travel. When crediting trips to your Rav Kav pass, you will receive a discount, for example, instead of 66 shekels ($ 17) for 10 trips, you will pay 52.8 shekels ($ 13.6).

Where to buy an anonymous Rav Kav travel card?

• At drivers of buses or at bus stations.

Where to replenish anonymous Rav Kav travel card?

• At any cashier at the central bus station in Tel Aviv;
• At any bus company except Egged;
• In special machines at railway stations.

Bus Tickets in Tel Aviv and Nearby Cities

Tel Aviv and the Central District are merging into the Gush Dan agglomeration, which operates a unified fare system for buses of Dan, Egged, Kavim and Metropoline buses. Gush Dan is divided into 3 zones:

• Zone 1: Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Petah Tikva, Holon, Rishon Lezion, Bat Yam and others.
• Zone 21: Herzliya, Raanana, Ramat Hasharon, Hod Hasharon, etc.

The cost of a ticket for trips within 1.5 hours within one of these zones is 6.60 shekels ($ 1.7), for trips between zones - 10.4 shekels ($ 2.7). Please note that transfers during the indicated time are only possible if you are traveling on the Rav Kav pass. If you purchased a paper ticket from the driver, then you cannot make transfers, and in case of transfer you will have to buy another ticket.

The cost of a ticket for 1 day in zone 1 is 14.5 shekels ($ 3.7). To use it, you will need to purchase an anonymous Rav Kav pass from the driver for 5 shekels. A 1-day ticket is valid from 9 a.m.

Buses in Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv has an expanded bus network, which is served by several bus companies: Dan, Kavim, Egged and others. Information on fares and bus tickets is available on the official website of the Egged carrier (there is a version in Russian). Sites of other listed carriers, unfortunately, are only in Hebrew.

Important bus routes in Tel Aviv:

• No. 4 from the north of Tel Aviv to the center of Tel Aviv, the route runs along Ben Yehuda Street parallel to the beach;
• No. 5, 72, 172, 39, 239 follow from the north of Tel Aviv to the Dizengoff Center shopping center along Dizengoff Street, also parallel to the beach;
• No. 5 from Dizengoff Street to Tel Aviv Central Bus Station and to Tel Aviv-HaHagana Main Railway Station;
• No. 63, 239 from Dizengoff Street to the Azrieli Shopping Center and to Tel Aviv HaShalom Train Station.

Buses run from 05:00 to 24:00. Night buses in Tel Aviv are very rare, so if you take a walk until late, I recommend directly to the hotel.

From Tel Aviv it is very easy to get to various cities located along the Mediterranean Sea - Acre, Haifa, Caesarea, Netanya, Bat Yam, Ashdod, Ashkelon. It is also quite simple and quick to get to Jerusalem, both by bus and train. There are two bus stations in Tel Aviv:

• The central bus station is located at the Tel Aviv-HaHagana railway station in the south of the city
• The Arlozorov bus station is located in the north of the city at the Tel Aviv Center - Savidor railway station.



By train to Tel Aviv

If your hotel is located near one of the 4 railway stations of Tel Aviv, then you may well consider the option of traveling by train around the city. Trains run from 05:24 to 0:04. Train timetables and ticket prices are available on the Israel Railways website.

The fare from the southernmost railway station of Tel Aviv-HaHagana to the northernmost Tel Aviv-University will be 7 shekels ($ 1.8), travel time is 14 minutes. Trains in Israel are modernized, and traveling in them is very comfortable and pleasant. Please note that trains do not go to Shabbat (from Friday evening to Saturday evening). On Sunday mornings, trains always have a lot of people, because the military is returning from service, students are going to study.

If you are going for a walk to Tel Aviv from another city in Israel, get off at Tel Aviv Center - Savidor Station, located in the very center, or at Tel Aviv HaShalom Station, located in the large shopping center of Azrieli.



By train, you can get from Tel Aviv to any city in the country. The website of the Israeli Railways is for you to help (there is a version in Russian). A map of Israel's train stations can be found below. The distance to the main cities of Israel, I indicated in the article.



Minibuses Cherut

Sherut taxi minibuses travel along the main routes of Tel Aviv and throughout Israel. As a rule, these are yellow minibuses with a number on the windshield. They include 10-12 people. Unlike the bus, minibuses travel faster, and the fare on them is similar to the price of tickets on the bus.

A trip to Tel Aviv in a minibus will cost you 6-8 shekels per person ($ 1.5-2). Cherut work on Shabbat on Saturdays, but their prices on this day rise by 2-3 shekels. As a rule, they travel along the same routes in the city as municipal buses. The most popular Sherut routes are No. 4 and No. 5.

• No. 4 follows the route Tel Aviv Central Bus Station - Reading Power Station through Allenby and Ben Yehuda Streets;
• No. 5 follows the route of Tel Aviv Central Bus Station - Weizmann Street through Rothschild Boulevard, the Dizengoff Center shopping center and Dizengoff Street.

Intercity minibuses depart from Tel Aviv Central Bus Station to the bus station at your destination. About 10 shekels are added to the fare on Shabbat.



Taxi

In Israel, ordering a taxi via the Internet is very popular, it was from here that the Uber taxi service went. It is important for tourists to know the following information about taxis in Israel:

• The fare for a taxi increases by 25% during Shabbat, on holidays;
• There is a daily and night rate. The night tariff is valid from 21:00 to 05:30 with an increase of 25% of the fare;
• When traveling more than 2 people, a taxi driver may ask for an additional 4.9 shekels ($ 1.2) for each subsequent passenger;
• When ordering a taxi by phone, an additional fee of 5.2 shekels ($ 1.3) will be charged.

Taxi drivers in Israel are also not famous for their decency, so if you need, for example, a hotel or to resorts, then for reliability and safety it is better to pre-order a taxi transfer in a reliable Russian company.
