Sherut (Shared Taxis) E-mail
User Rating: / 9

The “Sherut” is one of the best transportation options in Tel Aviv.  You pay about what you would pay on the bus but can ask to be let off wherever you like, as if you were in a taxi.  
"Sherut" are Minivans that operate as Shared Taxis that can fill up a maximum of 10 passengers. Sherut fares are about 5 NIS per person. The Sherut Taxis are usually red & white (sometimes yellow) mini-buses that travel along the main streets of Tel Aviv (Dizengoff and Ben-Yehuda).

The destinations are mostly from north to south. Hand your money either as you get on to the Sherut, or take a seat and pass your money down to the driver. Don’t worry - your change will be passed back. 

The main Sherut minivans are:
Number 4 - Going from Tel Aviv Central Bus Station through Allenby and Ben Yehuda Streets all the way up to Reading Power Plant.
Number 5 - Going from Tel Aviv Central Bus Station through Rothschild Blvd., Dizengoff Center and Dizengoff Street up to Weitzman St. in the north. (Notice that the Sherut doesn't go all the way to Arlozorove train station as does the number 5 bus).

Make sure you hold on to something when you get on, the drivers are in a bit of a hurry to get on their way!
