Tel Aviv transportation tips...

    From Ben Gurion airport to Tel Aviv center, the cheapest way is to
    take  the train to Arlozorov train station in central TA and from there
    you can take a taxi (not immediately outside the exit of the station but
    further on the main road - see warnings bottom of this page) or a bus,
    to your accommodation or if you have a large luggage and want to be
    comfortable you can use the airport taxi service see the airport site
    here you can find flight information and also see transportation related
    links.

    In the city you either walk or use public transportation Driving in Tel
    Aviv is not advisable Parking in Tel Aviv - there is NO parking in Tel
    aviv - as all the big cities Tel-Aviv is packed and it is very difficult to
    find parking so unless you are a masochist don't drive a car in the city
    -  better use your legs or a taxi or other public transportation.

    walking - there are a few places where you can rent a bicycle in the

    The cheapest  way to  see Tel Aviv - check Tel Aviv by Bus

    Changes in the bus system (July 2011) in the city and around : some
    buses lines have been cancelled and other changed also new have
    been added. Check the Busline website for details. Central lines like
    bus no. 4 and 5 have not changed.  The good thing is that now when
    you need to change buses to get to your destination you can use the
    ticket for 90 minutes.

    Dan Operates also the open roof tourists bus that tours the major
    attractions in Tel Aviv

    they run all week even on Saturday fare is cheaper than a bus 5
    shekels only no. 5 minibus runs all  Dizengoff from the north to the
    central station and no. 4 minibus  all Ben Yehuda and Alenby from the
    north to the central station

    Travelling outside Tel Aviv
    travelling outside the city - to rent a car is a good option if you like
    driving and can afford it - driving in Israel is not too hard just study the
    maps and be patient because the Israeli drivers are not very
    courteous on the road... if you don't want to rent a car you can travel
    by bus or by train they are both comfortable - Trains are a great way
    to go around but they don't go everywhere check the Israeli Railway
    website  Israel Railways - . Buses covers almost every destination no
    matter how small  most of the buses start from the central bus station
    -  the old central station is not a very nice neighbourhood you might
    prefer to avoid it and the new central station is not very nice neither
    but if you have to travel to Eilat or somewhere else with a Egged bus
    you might not have a choice - to Haifa and Jerusalem you can take
    the bus from the terminal near Arlozorov train station (see EGGED
    information) or try bus.co.il a website that has information about all the
    buses

    Organized day trips to the North, to Jerusalem or the Dead Sea are
    offered by  Egged Tours, or United Tours

    Warning
    From the central bus station or train station never take a taxi that is not
    licenced and is hanging around looking for customers. This taxi not  
    legitimate and charge a lot . You can go a few steps to the main road
    near by and stop a regular taxi with a number on it. These are
    licensed taxis from companies and they charge by activating the meter.
