Trains in Israel
When visiting Israel, the question of transportation arises. For quick and convenient travel around the country, many tourists prefer to rent a car, however, many travelers choose public transport. Israel has a well-developed bus system and also operates a railway network.
History and Current State of Railways
Railway communication has existed in Israel since the days of the British Mandate, but continues to develop and, unfortunately, has not yet reached its peak.
Route Network
Today, the railway in Israel runs:
- from Dimona and Kiryat Gat in the south to Nahariya in the north
- from Tel Aviv in the west to Jerusalem in the east
- through Ben Gurion Airport
- through central cities of the country: Petah Tikva, Kfar Saba, and others
Development Plans
Plans exist for expanding and improving the railway network:
- construction of lines to Eilat in the south and to Carmiel in the north
- modernization of the Tel Aviv – Jerusalem and Haifa – Nahariya railway lines
Features and Problems of Railway Transport
Possible Inconveniences
Construction Work: Due to modernization, closures of individual road sections frequently occur.
Strikes: Strikes happen on Israeli railways – it’s worth monitoring the news.
Overcrowding: Trains are particularly crowded on Sunday mornings and Thursday evenings. When possible, different travel times should be chosen.
Delays: Trains in Israel are often late. When traveling to the airport, it’s advisable to leave early. If a train is delayed by more than half an hour, passengers should contact the station master directly – they are obligated to provide a free ticket of the same value.
