| *There is no public transportation on the Sabbath. (From Friday sundown to Saturday sundown) |
 Busses:
Buses are the most common form of public transportation for Israelis and travellers alike. The extensive national bus system is run by a public corporation called Egged, the second-largest bus network in the world. There is also a bus company called Dan, which operates exclusively in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. |

 Trains:
One of the best advances in transport in Israel in recent years has been the modernisation of the train system, now set for major expansion. The system currently runs along Israel's Mediterranean coast, being particularly useful for connections between Haifa, Tel Aviv and the airport. |

 Sherut (Shared Taxi) services:
Faster than the bus companies are the minivans, known as monit sherut or "service taxi", that follow the bus routes but can be hailed from anywhere. Sherut fares usually cost the same or slightly less than the bus, but during Sabbath, when normal buses do not operate, sherut fares will increase. |

 Taxis
Taxis are very common in Israel. If you don't know your way around, make them use the meter. |
