Car Travel: In Jerusalem, a combination of walking and taking cabs or a guide-driven tourist limo-van is often more time-effective than a rental car.

Light Rail Travel: Jerusalem's much-delayed light rail has an opening date in 2010. Check the Web site, www.rakevetkala-jerusalem.org.il.

Taxi Travel: Taxis can be flagged on the street, ordered by phone, or picked up at a taxi stand or at major hotels. The law requires taxi drivers to use their meters.

Train Travel: Train service between Jerusalem and the coast takes about an hour and 20 minutes—good at rush hour, but 50 minutes slower than the bus at other times. The fare to or from Tel Aviv is NIS 36 round-trip.
