Taking a Sherut in Israel
Taking a sherut in Israel is a fast and efficient way of getting around, but can be slightly daunting if you've never traveled on one before. A sherut (in Hebrew 'monit sherut' - service taxi) is a shared taxi, typically a eight to ten seat minivan, which runs on one of three routes - from city to city, within a city (usually along a bus route), and from the airport to Jerusalem and Haifa. The airport sheruts run either to Central Bus Stations or a destination of your choice, whilst the other sheruts in Israel follow a fixed route but can be stopped anywhere along their route (unlike a bus which only stops at designated stops).
