A great transportation network which makes getting around in Israel easy – whether you are using public transportation or traveling on your own and renting a car. The country has a modern road network, with a great train and bus service between major cities. Taxis and Sheruts in Israel are inexpensive compared to in many Western Countries. Beyond Israel’s public transportation network, there is a great availability when it comes to private transportation in Israel. But just like the public buses, the Israeli trains don’t run on Shabbat (meaning if you arrive by plane on a Friday evening, you’re the only option is a taxi or shared shuttle bus).
