Buses in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv public transport. Cost of parking in Israel

There are two main city carrier companies in Tel Aviv. They were once one company, but have split in recent years. Around the city you will see two bus companies: DAN and Eget.

Cost of public transport in Israel?

Bus fares vary, and they also vary depending on the distance you need to travel. Payment for the fare is made at the entrance to the driver. He will definitely ask you the final stop of your route.

All payments are made through a special cash register. The driver will definitely give you a receipt. There are also travel cards for the whole day, they say they can significantly save your costs, but you need to buy them if you travel often. It will not be easy to issue such a card; you need to take a photo for it and the registration takes place somewhere in the company’s office. We did not specify where exactly.

The transport system in Israel is well developed. You can take a public bus to Jerusalem. The number of buses and their direction is surprising. We looked at route directions on the website www.bus.co.il. This site helped us out a lot.

Basically, if you need to go from one city to another, then all the 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 LeZion, travel to Tel Aviv cost us 6.60 shekels per person one way. The buses are very comfortable, the automatic system announces 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 returning from a nightclub. Public transport stops early, somewhere around 11 pm, 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 15 minutes from Ben Gurion International Airport. The park features more than 380 miniature models of Israeli landmarks. You can get to Mini Israel by bus number 433. The ticket costs 18 shekels one way per person.

“Cars, cars have literally filled everything...” - it seems that this is about Tel Aviv. It is difficult for Telavians, and even more so for nonresidents, to drive through the old city center. Narrow one-way streets, and, of course, without any possibility of parking. And on large avenues, frequent traffic jams slow down city traffic. But not for a minute, neither day nor night, it does not stop.

Thousands of cars, private and official, trucks and cars. Buses - city and intercity, tourist and transporting schoolchildren. Route taxis. And between all this driving straight, turning and turning, parked or just stopping in the middle of the street to exchange a few words with the next driver - the scurrying scooters of the messengers...

Buses in Tel Aviv

Travel on public transport cannot be called cheap. And it often happens that after traveling on buses for a day, we discover that we could save money. How?

Firstly, think through and develop your travel route in advance. Even if you know the city well and often use public transport. There may always be changes even in the usual routes. Therefore, it is worth checking out the sites of Dan, Egged and Kavim (although the latter site is only in Hebrew for now).

Secondly, you need to have information about options for saving on travel tickets:

Permanent discounts

Schoolchildren under 18 years of age or until the end of the 12th grade “yud-bet” (until the later of these two dates) can use a youth compostable card (“kartisiyat-noar”), the price of which is 50% of the full cost of the card. Students of institutions located far from home, such as boarding schools, yeshivas, etc., are also entitled to a 50% discount on tickets that cost more than 23 shekels. When purchasing a ticket, you must present a document issued by the relevant educational institution.

The Dan - Rakevet Combined Ticket combines round trip train travel with Dan's Tel Aviv - Jaffa Day Pass. Such a ticket can be purchased at ticket offices and ticket machines at railway stations (only in the direction of Tel Aviv). The combined ticket "Dan - Rakevet" is not limited by the starting time. In addition, the portion of the ticket price related to travel on Dan buses has been significantly reduced.

And the pink ticket is valid in the center of Tel Aviv, Jaffa, Holon and Bath -Yame.

The Egged Cooperative also provides several options for monthly passes depending on the combination of Tel Aviv and other localities included in the ticket.

Railway transport

The entire Israeli railway network converges at one point - Tel Aviv.
Four railway stations operate today in the city.

The northernmost is Universitetskaya. It is located near Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv and areas of northern Tel Aviv.

The name of the Tel Aviv Center station speaks for itself. From the adjacent bus station you can reach almost all cities of Gush Dan and any area of Tel Aviv.

Hashalom station is located in one of the central areas of the city. By crossing directly from this station you can get to the Azrieli Canyon. Nearby is the Kiriya district with the Ministry of Defense, the new building of the Telaviv branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the state employment service. And just two bus stops away - the Telaviv branch of the National Insurance Institute "Bituah Leumi".

"Hagana" is the name of the station located next to the Central Bus Station. And from nearby bus stops it is easy to get to the southern areas of Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Givatayim.

You will find train schedules and fares

In the near future...

In Tel Aviv, part of the S-Bahn line (from Karlibah Street along Ibn Gvirol Street to HaYarkon Bridge) will be laid underground

We are talking about “rakevet kala”, which reminds us more of the usual trams than trains

The railway within Tel Aviv will consist of two lines – “red” and “green”. “Red” will run from Bat Yam through Tel Aviv Center and Ramat Gan to Petah Tikva. The Green Line will start in Rishon Lezion, pass through Holon, Carlibach Street and the HaYarkon Bridge in Tel Aviv, and end in the Herzliya industrial zone.

The estimated completion date for both lines is 2011. The construction of the “red” line will cost one and a half billion dollars. As for the “green” one, its exact cost has not yet been calculated. At a meeting of the design and construction commission, it was only said that due to the need to run part of the line underground, the cost of construction would increase by $300 million

Tel Aviv has a developed public transport network, represented by buses, sherut minibuses and trains. The most comfortable and fastest mode of transport is trains, the cheapest is city buses and minibuses. Attention! On Shabbat - on Saturdays - there is no transport in Israel, with the exception of some sherut routes and taxis, which have an increased tariff at this time.

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

Buses. Directly to the driver or at ticket offices at bus stations.
Trains. At ticket offices at railway stations or in special machines.
Minibus Sherut. Directly to the driver, the Rav Kav pass is not valid in Sherut.

Rav Kav is a personal electronic card that can be topped up with the required number of trips at railway stations and used for train or bus travel within the city of your choice in Israel. Rav Kav is suitable for you if you plan to travel a lot on buses of one company in one city. Bus routes in Israel are operated by different companies, so if you plan trips with different bus carriers, you will have to pay separate fares for each company and put these funds on your Rav Kav card. In total, tickets from 8 carriers can be credited to the card.

Rules for using Rav Kav differ in different cities in Israel. In Tel Aviv, you must put a minimum of 30 shekels ($7.7) on this card. When using the card you can save up to 20% compared to the regular rate. When you enter the bus, the card will be scanned by the driver and the ticket price for the direction you are traveling will be debited from it.

There are two types of Rav Kav travel card: personal (nominal) and anonymous. For tourists, the anonymous Rav Kav pass is suitable. The cost of such a travel card is 5 shekels ($1.28) + funds that you put in to pay for the trip. To avoid confusion, you can purchase a separate Rav Kav card for each bus company you plan to travel with. 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?

From bus drivers or at bus stations.

Where can I top up my anonymous Rav Kav travel card?

At any cashier at the Tel Aviv central bus station;
Any bus company other than Egged;
In special machines at railway stations.

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

Zone 1: Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Petah Tikva, Holon, Rishon Lezion, Bat Yam, etc.
Zone 21: Herzliya, Raanana, Ramat Hasharon, Hod Hasharon, etc.
Zone 22: Rosh HaAyin, Petah Tikva, etc.

The cost of a ticket for travel for 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 within the specified time are only possible if you are traveling with a Rav Kav pass. If you purchased a paper ticket from the driver, you cannot make transfers, and if you 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. The 1-day ticket is valid from 9 am.

Children under 5 years old travel free of charge. Discounts provided for travel to pensioner residents of Israel and students of local universities do not apply to tourists. A 1-month pass can only be purchased by Israeli residents with a personalized Rav Kav card.

Tel Aviv has an expanded bus network, 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). The websites 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 go 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 the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station and to the Tel Aviv-HaHagana Main Railway Station;
No. 63, 239 from Dizengoff Street to 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 are out late, I recommend going straight to your 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 easy and quick to get to Jerusalem, both by bus and by train. There are two bus stations in Tel Aviv:

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

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

The fare from the southernmost railway station of the city 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 operate on Shabbat (Friday evening to Saturday evening). On Sunday mornings there are always a lot of people on the trains, because... military personnel return from service, students go to study.

If you are traveling 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 Azrieli shopping center.

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

Sherut taxis operate on main routes in Tel Aviv and throughout Israel. As a rule, these are yellow minibuses with a number on the windshield. They include 10-12 people. Unlike buses, minibuses travel faster, and their fares are similar to bus ticket prices.

A trip around Tel Aviv in a minibus will cost you 6-8 shekels per person ($1.5-2). Sheruts are also open on Shabbat - on Saturdays, but their prices on this day increase by 2-3 shekels. As a rule, they travel on 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 via Allenby and Ben Yehuda streets;
No. 5 follows the route Tel Aviv Central Bus Station - Weizmann Street via Rothschild Boulevard, Dizengoff Center shopping center and Dizengoff Street.

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

In Israel, ordering a taxi via the Internet is very popular; this is where the Uber taxi service came from. It is important for tourists to know the following information about taxis in Israel:

Taxi fares increase by 25% during Shabbat and holidays;
There is a day and night rate. The night fare is valid from 21:00 to 05:30 with an increase of 25% to the fare;
When traveling with more than 2 people, the taxi driver may ask for an additional 4.9 shekels ($1.2) for each additional passenger;
When ordering a taxi by phone, an additional fee of 5.2 shekels ($1.3) is 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 book a taxi transfer in advance from a reliable Russian company.

Urban transport in Israel is well developed, but in most cities it is represented by buses and minibuses.

The main intracity bus carrier is the Egged company (www.egged.co.il/Ru). In the Tel Aviv agglomeration, approximately half of the transportation is carried out by the Dan company (www.dan.co.il/russian/), in the north and north-west of Israel (in Nahariya, Metula, Shlomi, Safed) the majority of transportation is performed by the Nativ Express company ( www.nateevexpress.com), in the northeastern regions - the company "Kavim" and "Omni Express".

The main transfer hubs in Tel Aviv are the bus station (Tahana Merkazit) and the railway station (Tahana Rakevet), in Haifa there are two bus stations: South (Hof Hakarmel) and North (Ha-Mifratz).

The standard bus fare in major cities is 6.80 ILS, with the exception of Jerusalem, where the fare is 6.60 ILS. Routes outside of cities and leading to nearby suburbs are more expensive. Let's say, a trip to a distant suburb of Tel Aviv, for example, to Rehovot, will cost 12 ILS, a trip to any of the suburbs of Haifa will cost 10.60 ILS. Most cities have a variety of passes, but mostly monthly passes. Tel Aviv and some smaller cities have a day pass that costs around 12 ILS, which is very convenient for tourists. There are no options for tourists for several days.

Traffic stops at sunset on Friday and resumes at sunset on Saturday. The exception is Haifa, some areas of Tel Aviv and several other cities in the north of the country: there is limited traffic on some routes on Saturday.

In addition to regular buses, in Haifa there are high-speed Metronit buses, which also connect the city with the suburbs (Kiryat Ata, Kiryat Bialik, Kiryat Motzkin, Kiryat Haim and Kiryat Yam).

Metronit is open seven days a week. The fare in Haifa is 6.80 ILS, in the suburbs - 10.60 ILS. This ticket allows you to transfer to another route or to regular city bus routes in Haifa within 90 minutes of purchase.

Similar high-speed buses are also available in Jerusalem (connecting the city center with its remote areas and a number of suburban settlements), serviced by the Egged company. At the moment, the entire route is operating, and four more are planned to be launched in the near future.

There is only one tram line in the country - it connects remote areas of Jerusalem with the center and old city, as well as the suburb of Pisgat Zeev. Travel by tram, like any other public transport in Jerusalem, costs 6.60 shekels.

City trains run in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem - in fact, this is part of a regular railway line, connecting in this case 2-3 stations in a separate city. A train within the city limits costs 7 ILS in Tel Aviv, 6 ILS in other cities.

At the beginning of 2010, electronic Rav Kav travel cards appeared in Israel, similar to transport cards in Europe and a number of other countries of the world, where this card allows you to invest a certain amount of money and then use all types of public transport by applying it to the validator at the entrance to the metro or bus , tram. The system automatically withdraws a certain amount depending on the type of transport and route.

In Israel, however, representatives of railway transport and bus companies were unable to agree among themselves on a common tariff and a single database. It turned out that passengers have to make a separate card top-up for each company. At some point, it turns out that there is enough money on the conditional card for 10 trips with the Egged company, 5 trips with the Nativ Express company and two train trips. In addition, you must initially put in the amount for travel along a certain route on one or another transport, by one or another company. It is a rare passenger who is able to remember how many trips are left for each company. And although the card allows you to save some money, it is useless for tourists who travel around the country, visiting new places each time, and do not have regular transport routes.

It makes sense to buy it only if you plan to travel a significant number of times around the city and suburbs in the same directions. The cards are sold at all ticket machines at bus, train and BRT stations in Haifa and Jerusalem.

Before entering the railway station, Rav Kav is applied to the scanner on the turnstile. On a regular bus, the card is applied to a scanner next to the driver. When traveling by tram or high-speed buses, the card must be applied to the scanners (green target) located at the stops before entering the bus. There are no scanners inside these vehicles.

More information about maps can be found on the websites of transport companies, for example, "Egged" (www.egged.co.il/eng/main.asp?lngCategoryID=10124).

Regular tickets for city buses are sold from the driver (entrance to the bus is only through the first door). Tickets for high-speed buses in Haifa and Jerusalem, as well as tickets for the Jerusalem tram, are sold in vending machines at each stop; tickets cannot be purchased inside a high-speed bus or tram.

The only metro line in the country operates in Haifa. The Carmelit line (six stops) connects the Lower and Upper towns. The fare is approximately $1.2. The Carmelite line is the world's smallest independent off-street underground transport system (subway). Its length is two kilometers, including stations, or 1 kilometer 803 meters excluding stations.

The history of the Haifa metro is remarkable. The idea of connecting the port area of this Israeli city with its upper part was first conceived by the British, who took control of Palestine in 1917. Much later, in 1942, the British, having difficulty holding back Rommel’s onslaught in neighboring Egypt, began to prepare Haifa for defense against the Germans in case of a breakthrough by the latter at El Alamein. An underground route from the port to the upper fortifications through the entire city would be the best option for strengthening the defenders, and construction began. Fortunately, the Germans were defeated and the tunnel was no longer necessary.

The Israelis returned to the idea of a metro for the second time in the early 1950s. Haifa grew rapidly, and the difficult terrain made it difficult to travel from one end of the city, located by the sea (Adar), to the other, located high on the mountain (Carmel). Even today, a bus journey from Adar to Carmel can take up to 40 minutes, as the bus winds through the narrow streets of the old part of the city and struggles up the hill. Therefore, there was a need to create a new type of transport that would facilitate the path between these centers of urban life. The then mayor of Haifa, Aba Khushi, took the initiative to create this transport. In order not to disrupt the existing infrastructure, the metro was chosen as such a means of transport. The project was entrusted to a French company, and work began in 1956, successfully ending on October 6, 1959.

In 1986, it was decided to close the metro for major renovations. From this state, the metro smoothly passed into the category of unprofitable projects and was closed until 1992, when it was again inaugurated for passengers. Currently, Israel's only metro, Haifa's Carmelit, is operating as usual. During the conflict between Israel and the terrorist organization Hezbollah in July-August 2006, Carmelite stations served as public bomb shelters. They were open 24 hours a day and entry to the stations was free.

There are two types of public transport, called taxis, in Israel:

Minibuses for 10-12 seats. They operate in all populated areas of the country and are used both within the city and on intercity lines. This is the only mode of transport operating on Saturdays and holidays. The fare is fixed and usually 10% lower than by bus. Payment to the driver upon boarding. If necessary, you can ask for a receipt for payment.

Valid in all cities of the country. You can stop a taxi right on the street, or call it by phone. The fare is calculated based on 9 shekels per landing and 5 shekels for each kilometer of travel. In addition, 10 shekels are charged for oversized luggage. For service at night (from 21.00 to 5.30), as well as on Saturdays and holidays, a surcharge of 25% is charged. All intracity taxis are equipped with meters, which must be turned on when the passenger boards. Intercity fares are set according to a special price list, which must be provided to the passenger upon request. In some cases, taxi drivers inflate the fare for tourists or offer to travel at a negotiated price without a meter. If you do not fully know the current tariffs, then you should not agree to a fixed price, since it will usually be higher than what will come out on the meter. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult with nearby Israelis. They will be happy to help the tourist, in most cases they will name the true price of travel and even shame the taxi driver.

Unfortunately, in cities such as Eilat and Jerusalem, taxi drivers cheat and deceive tourists. It is not uncommon for tourists to pay five times the fare from the Egyptian border at Taba to central Eilat. In addition, taxi drivers charged tourists for carrying luggage, even if they were without things. In order to avoid this kind of trouble, you should check with local residents in advance about the approximate cost of travel and travel exclusively using the meter. Needless to say, you should pay for the fare in shekels, and not in dollars and euros, since the taxi driver will definitely calculate the payment at an exchange rate that is extremely unfavorable for tourists. Often tourists who decide to pay for a taxi in dollars end up paying one and a half to two times more money than if they paid in shekels. The taxi driver accepted payment of 37 shekels ($10) in dollars, but charged the naive tourist 20 dollars (74 shekels).

In this article we will try to talk about the main bus routes in Tel Aviv. Buses in the city of Tel Aviv are operated by several companies, but the majority of bus routes are operated by Dan. The buses of this company are blue and white. Like any other major city in Israel, Tel Aviv has very popular bus routes with frequent buses. Since Tel Aviv is a relatively small city, tourists often only need to know 4-5 main bus routes.

This bus departs from the new central bus station, travels along Allenby Street, passes through Carmel Market and Ben Yehuda Street. From Sunday to Thursday, buses on route 4 run from 7 am to 8 pm every 7-12 minutes. From 5 to 7 am and from 8 pm to midnight, buses run less frequently.

Note that there is also minibus No. 4, which runs on a similar route 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This bus departs from the Tahana Merkazit bus station (new central bus station) and goes to the Arlozorov bus station. Bus route number 5 runs along Allenby Street, Rothschild Boulevard, past the Habima Theater, along Dizengoff Street, past Dizengoff Square and past Hamedin Square. From 6am to 9pm Sunday to Thursday the bus runs every 5-12 minutes (during most of the day it runs approximately every 5 minutes). From 5 to 6 am and from 9 pm to midnight the bus runs less frequently.

Minibus No. 5 follows a similar route, but operates 24 hours a day all week.

This bus runs between the Central Railway Station and Bat Yama. Bus route 18 passes through Ibn Gvirol Street, Rabin Square, King George Street, Allenby Street and the Jaffa area. Bus 18 runs every 7-10 minutes from 7am to 9pm from Sunday to Thursday and noticeably less frequently from 5am to 7am and from 10pm to midnight.

If you need to travel from the north of Tel Aviv to the city center, you need to use bus number 4. To travel from the northern part of Tel Aviv to the Dizengoff Center, you can use buses No. 5, 72, 172, 39, 239. If you need to go from the Dizengoff Center to the Tahana Merkazit central bus station, then you need bus No. 5. To travel from the Dizengoff Center to the Savidor Merkaz central railway station and the Arlozorov bus station, you can also use bus number 5.

If you need to get from Dizengoff Shopping Center to Azrieli Shopping Center and Ashalom Train Station, you need to take bus 63 or 239.
