If you’re visiting or living in Tel Aviv, public transportation is one of the most convenient ways to get around. There are multiple options available for both locals and tourists alike.
For those looking for quick and easy transit, buses are the most popular option. The bus system in Tel Aviv consists of regular buses that run along major routes during peak hours and air-conditioned express lines between certain hubs. And depending on your location, there are numerous bus stops scattered throughout the city.
Tel Aviv also utilizes light rail as a part of their public transport system. This includes four light rail lines that can take you all around the city, with an end destination at Azrieli Tower in Ramat Gan. While this is considerably more expensive than a bus ride, it provides quick access to certain parts of the city during rush hour.
Taxis are another commonly used form of transport. You can easily flag down street taxis or order a ride through ride hailing apps like Gett or Lyft if you’re have access to a smartphone or laptop with wifi internet connection. It's important to note that taxi rides can be significantly more expensive than riding on a bus or train so keep this mind when choosing your means of transport.
For visitors who prefer an eco-friendly alternative, cycling has become increasingly popular over recent years - whether it's unlocked bikes put up by various companies located throughout various neighborhoods throughout the city (such as Mobike) or rental bikes offered by businesses near certain tourist hotspots (like Hayarkon Park).
