Dear public transport users in Southeast Tel Aviv, On July 1st the public transportation system in Tel Aviv will change dramatically.
The official booklet explaining the transport reform may be nice and detailed, but it doesn't really explain how to get from point A to point B. TRANSPORT OUR WAY This is what we're here for. Israeli public transport consumer organization
General information: 1. System-wide change in ticket prices: a single ticket (₪6.40) will allow unlimited transfers within 90 minutes in Tel Aviv and neighboring towns, on all bus companies (Dan, Egged, Kavim, Metropolin). 2. The changes that will take place July 1st , apply only to bus routes in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Beni Brak, Bat Yam, Holon and Givatayim.
