    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!

      I am staying on the corner of Ba alay Malach and Yonahan Sandler in the Sheinkin area of Tel Aviv. I will have 2 suitcases and a back pack and need to get to Jerusalem. Can the Sherut pick up directly at the apartment house. If not how do I get to the Central Bus Station. If I choose to just take a taxi myself roughly how much will the taxi fare be. Any other suggestions as to how to get to Jerusalem with my luggage in tow.
      Thanks - PS I'm in my 60's

      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 00:00, 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,
      You book the Sherut taxi service from Jerusalem to Ben Gurion via Nesher Taxis:
      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,

      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!

      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!

    • 2010-05-31 02:53:40 |94.159.173.xxx| Ed  - sherut tel aviv airport to jerusalem

      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 12:00 on weekdays and after 1:00-2:00 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 8:00 in the morning and 11:00 at night (Sun-Fri) and 13:00-11:00 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!
