Sherut


  •  

“Sherut” are shared taxis (minivans that usually have 10 seats) that generally follow major bus routes. They run both between cities and within cities. The sherut taxi fares are similar to public bus fares. You can pay when you enter the taxi and you can take a seat first and then pass the money to the driver. The Sherut taxis normally reach their destination faster and tend to be less crowded than a bus. Sherut stops are on route only, but you can ask the driver to drop you off anywhere you want on the route, not only on the bus stations.

  1. NUMBER 4 - from Tel Aviv Central Bus Station - through Allenby and Ben Yehuda Streets all the way up to Reading Power Plant.
  2. NUMBER 5 - Going from Tel Aviv Central Bus Station - through Rothschild Blvd., Dizengoff Center and Dizengoff Street up to Weitzman St. in the north. (The Sherut doesn’t go all the way to Arlozorov train station as does the number 5 bus).
