Anna’s Tip
If you are a tourist in Israel, then you should be careful taking taxis. Most taxi drivers are nice but, there are some who try to overcharge you because you are a tourist, so unless if you are lost, try to taking a “sherut”, or a “sharing taxi”. Even for me, after a year of living in Israel, I finally used taxis, only when I could speak and understand Hebrew
Sherut
A unique sharing taxi service in Israel, ‘Sherut’ is taxi (10-12 seater van) that generally follows major bus routes and mostly operates between major cities. Pricewise, sherut taxi fares are a set price and are similar to public bus fares. They normally reach their destination faster and tend to be less crowded. Sherut operating hours also extend longer into the night.
