Tel Aviv-Yafo Transportation Tips by leffe3

'Mode': AROUND

Getting TO/AROUND: Buses, sheruts (mini-vans or shared taxis) and taxis ply the over-congested streets of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Transport is generally cheap. One price bus and sherut fares (NIS 5 and NIS 4.50 - approx $1) for journey: an average taxi fare is around NIS 15-20 ($3-4) for most destinations within the city (as long as you get the taxi driver to put the meter on: taxi drivers will sometimes quote you a price. Rarely will it be less than NIS 5 more than the fare should be). Taxis drive with their lights on whether they are free or not - you just have to flag one down until one stops! Get in when it does - wait until you're seated before telling the destination. If you don;t like the price quoted, tell the driver to stop and get out. A Sherut you flag down anywhere - mainly the red & white mini-buses that unfortunately only travel along main road destinations (predominatly north-south). Hand your money either as you get on or take a seat and pass your money forward. Don;t worry - your change will be passed back. Buses I do not advise on using due to the current situation.
