It connects Tel Aviv with te rest of the country. It’s the easiest way to travel in Israel, and the cheapest. You could also rent a car. But keep in mind that the Israeli are lousy drivers, words of a Telavivian guy, and they constantly use the horn in an aggressive way.

Traveller TIP.
Buy a Rav-Kav card in the central station and travel the whole country with peace of mind. It comes as a credit card which you can easily reload. Following was our itinerary: Tel Aviv – Jeruzalem – Beër Sjeva – Mitzpe Ramon – Beër Sjeva – Tel Aviv including multiple trips by tram in Jeruzalem for a grand total of €30/person.
Busses are equipped with free WIFI, airco and run on schedule. It happened once that the bus arrived even before ETA. Not because we got a little help from back winds, but the bus driver thought he was a brother of Lewis Hamilton.
