Hi,

I'm a 20 year old American coming to Israel on my own to stay with friends. I land at Ben Gurion on a Saturday afternoon and need to get to Haifa, what is the best and cheapest way to do this?

Thanks!

Tel Aviv Guide Reply
The best and cheapest way to get to Haifa on a Saturday would be a sherut (shared taxis). They wait outside the arrivals hall - you can't miss them.

Hope someone can help: We will be arriving in Tel Aviv airport on a Friday evening after 6pm.
Are there any Sherut taxi service running between the airport and Jerusalem during the Sabbat?
How much does it cost, please?

Many thanks in advance.

Dear User,
Please view previous replies - sherut run 24/7

Please, can you give me an advice, how to travel from Jerusalem to Tel-Aviv and back in one day (only to visit a friend while a stay in Israel?
Thanks, Jana

Dear Jana,
Buses and Sherut taxi service are all good options.
Good Luck!

My family and I are traveling to Israel next week. We need to get to Jerusalem from the Ben Gurion airport. My husband and I have a 1 year old toddler. My brother and his wife have a 3 yr. old and an 8 month old baby. Can all of the children ride in a sherut without a car seat? Even the 8 month old?

Thank you for your help.

All children can, by law, ride taxis without car seats in Israel. Whether or not you chose to do so is up to you...
With such a large group of you, you might want to consider taking a private cab.
Good luck!

Hi, my son is coming in tomorrow. How does he get a Sherut at the airport and will it take him to the Kotel or close?

The Sherut service takes passengers directly to where they need to get to in Jerusalem and Haifa.

Hi,
Sheruts work all days of the year besides Yom Kipur.
It's usually not possible to book a sherut in advance.
As far as we know, there is no sherut directly from Naharia to Ben Gurio.
Good luck!

Do the sherut taxi service run between jerusalem and tel aviv on Rosh Hashanah 29.9.11

Admin Reply:
Sherut taxis operate 24/7 all year round. On certain holidays and at certain times of day less people travel, so despite the fact that they operate, you might have to wait a very long time for the taxi to fill up...

My flight departure at Ben Gurion is 11pm, can you tell me where I can take Sherut at Haifa and how much it's approx.?

Is there a sherut from Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion Airport) to Haifa, on a Sunday after 180 hrs.
Thanks,

Dear Visitor,
As you can see in the Ben Gurion article and in previous responses, Sherut taxi services work 24h to Jerusalem, Haifa and some other destinations.
They coordinate the Sherut with expected incoming flights.

Could someone inform me of what the best way to get to and from Ramot HaSharon is on Friday? Erev Shabbas and Motzie Shabbas?

I find all this transportation stuff in Israel extremely confusing. Can somebody give a SIMPLE response..arriving Sunday 12/19. Going to the 7 Arches in Jerusalem. Do the cabs take one straight to the hotel?

Dear User,
The cabs (or shared taxis) take everyone to the exact destination they need to reach. This makes the ride longer (as there are many stops)but considerably cheaper.
Transportation in Israel is, unfortunately, quite confusing and at times not very efficient. Hopefully, this will change within a few years.

Is there a sherut that runs between Eilat and Tel Aviv? If so does it run on Friday and Saturday?

Dear User,
There is no Sherut service from Tel Aviv to Eilat. However, there are a number of buses that go from Tel Aviv to Eilat every day of the week. On Fridays the bus service stops mid-day and on Saturdays the service is renewed in the evening.
Enjoy your stay,

Arriving in Ben Gurion on a Friday about 10 minutes before shabbat starts. Is there anyway into Tel Aviv apart from Taxi on shabbat? If so, any tips for taxis?
Thanks!
Dan

Dear User,
Chances are that a taxi will be your only option. Sadly, even if you arrive earlier on Friday, the train service is not very good.
Good luck!

Do the Sheruts from Ben Gurion to Hotels in Jerusalem work during the night. In other words, we arrive at Ben Gurion at about 3 a.m. Are the Sheruts still running to Hotels in Jerusalem?

Dear User,
As detailed in previous responses - the sherut to Jerusalem in a 24h service that is run in coordination with arrivals. The sherut runs all hours of the day and night.

just wanna ask if there is available sherut 29 today and tomorrow going to herzliyya from kfar saba

Hi,

I am interested is there sherut from Ben Gurion airport to Tel Aviv (Ben Yehuda street) and what number after midnight? How much it costs?

Thanks

Dear User,
Please check out our Ben Gurion Airport article.

I understand that there is sherut service from Tel-Aviv Central Bus Station to Jerusalem 24/7, and the cost is NIS 35. I understand that there is not really a fixed schedule but the driver leaves when the sherut is full.
I'm interested in service at night, say after 11. If I arrive at the Tel-Aviv station at 11 at night on a Tuesday in August, how long on the average will I have to wait for the next sherut? What if it's at 12 at night? Where does the sherut end up in Jerusalem? Thanks.

Dear User,
Indeed it isn't easy to predict how long it will take for the sherut taxi to fill up. Sometimes you are the last to arrive and the taxi leaves immediately, and other times a full taxi just left and you are the first on a new taxi waiting for passengers. So it can take anywhere between 1-30 min, depending on sheer luck. Until 000, it shouldn't take too long and you're not likely to wait longer than 15-20 min.
The Sherut arrives in the center of town in Jerusalem, near Zion Square, ...

Hello,
Is there a sherut from Jerusalem to the Ben Gurion Airport on Shabbat? If so, how would I contact it?
Thanks in advance !

Dear User,

02-6257227
The service works 24/7 and you should book your taxi 24 hours in advance.
Good luck!

Hello,
is there a sherut taxi from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on Sept. 9 (Rosch ha-Schana)?
Thanks!

Dear User,
As mentioned a number of times throughout the article, the shared taxis from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv work 24/7. Yom Kipur is the only day you can't get service.
The only thing is that on holidays and late at night, you usually have to wait longer-much longer for the taxi to fill up.
At a reasonable time of day on Rosh Hashana, however, you should be all right.
Good luck!

Hi,

Where do I catch the sherut from Tel Aviv (not the airport) to Jerusalem? How much should it cost?

Thanks!

Dear Tel Aviv Guide Visitor,
You cathch the Sherut taxis from the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station.
Should cost around NIS 35, but it varies (holidays, day/night etc).
Good luck!

Hi,

We have a 1-year old baby. We do not have a baby car seat. Can he ride on the sherut without a baby car seat ? Is a sherut just like a bus where seat belts are not used ?

Admin Reply
Dear User,
Yes, a Sherut, just like a bus, has no seat belts and you can travel with your toddler without a car seat according to the law. If you put him or her on your knees you don't even have to pay.
As regards your second questions, the sherut is indeed cash only. You might manage to pay in dollars, but there's a good chance the drivers will demand NIS.
Enjoy your stay!

Any recommendation regarding transportation from Jerusalem to Rehovot on 4 July? How much would a taxi cost? Is there a sherut?

Or can I pay with US dollars ?

Is there a sherut from ramat aviv to ben gurion airport? if so, which one is it?

Is there a sherut from Modiin to Tel Aviv on Shabbat? If so, how would I contact it?

Dear User,
Don;t believe there is a Sherut from Modiin to Tel Aviv - just from Jerusalem. This Sherut taxi service goes from Modiin to Jerusalem: 04-6724141. We suggest you contact them for further inquiries.
Good luck!

Are there any pitfalls or snags to avoid or can one just exit with carry-on luggage and step onto the first available Sherut to, say, Jaffa or Damascus Gates, Jerusalem? Rip-offs to avoid?
Is it really still around NIS 10 for this journey? Ed

Dear Ed,
Yes, you can feel free to just get on a sherut taxi when you leave the Ben Gurion Airport - it's all quite organized there are there aren't any pitfalls that need avoiding.
However, it is no longer 10 NIS, but more in the area of 50 NIS to travel from the airport to Jerusalem.
Good luck!

does anybody know the hours ther run in Jerusalem? or from city to city?thanks

Dear User,
The Sherut taxis run from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem 24/7. However, if you try catching a taxi at an especially late hour of the night (after 120 on weekdays and after 10-20 on weekends), you could find yourself waiting for a very,very long time...
So, if you don't want the ride to turn into a nightmare, best bet would be to try taking a sherut any time between 80 in the morning and 110 at night (Sun-Fri) and 130-110 on Saturdays.

I need the schedule for the sherut 4 ALEF,
does it start in Jaffa and goes to Ramat Aviv Gimmel?
thank you. Phyllis Avni

Admin Reply
Dear Phyllis,
The 4 Alef sherut does indeed go all the way to Ramat Aviv Gimmel, but it does not head out from Jaffa but from the Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station. Basically, it takes the same route that the 4 sherut takes, but continues further. Management claims that they pass about every 10-15 min, but that it not always the case... So, make sure you leave early if you're counting on 4 Alef Sherut.
Good Luck!
