Tel Aviv-Yafo Transportation Tips by edvin_br

'Mode': TO
Category: Train
Getting TO/AROUND: Maybe your best way to get to Tel aviv from another cities of Israel is by train. one of the most biggest problems in Tel aviv is the traffic jams and almost all the hours of the day can be called rush hours in Tel Aviv so getting there by car sometimes can be unpleasent.
The train is going faster, stops for a few minouts in every station on the way example from Netanya it takes 17 minouts to get to Tel aviv and from Hadera 28 minouts. there are many trains that are new and very comftarble, there are also express trains that stop just in a few central stations.
In Tel aviv there are 4 stations (the "University", the "Shalom", the "Central" and the "Hagana"), they all come in row one after the other because the railway goes stright trough the city. stations are new or renovated, not too crowded and very comftarble, you can buy tickets or by machine or in the cash box. Some of the stations situated just in the middle of a highway and you get out of them by tunnels and outside there are connections to the city by buses.
The stations in Tel aviv and in whole Israel are somehow different then the huge stations in Europe, here it will be hard to find stations with more then 4 lines, they built to be very effective so they are used most of all to transportation and there is almost no business activities around them.
