New bus line for tourists launched in Tel Aviv
City Tour line begins operations this month, with reduced introductory prices. Open-top bus offers passengers recorded guided tours in eight languages, stops at various sites of interest
The Dan bus company and the Tel Aviv Municipality have launched an introductory campaign for their new City Tour line – a bus line for tourists that recently began operating in the city.
As part of this campaign, the fare for a daily City Tour bus ticket will be reduced from NIS 45 to NIS 10 for the next three months (December 1 – February 29). A student or senior citizen ticket will cost only NIS 8.
The City Tour line was inaugurated in April, but following some delays only began operating this month.
The GPS-guided, open-top bus travels around the city, stops at various sites of interest and offers passengers recorded audio tour guides in eight different languages.
The first bus leaves at 9 am, and then once an hour from 11 am till 4 pm. The tour begins and ends at Reading Terminal in northern Tel Aviv.
The tour lasts for about two and-a-half hours, during which the bus stops at 30 stations, including Tel Aviv Port, Herbert Samuel promenade, Old Jaffa, Neve Tzedek, Nahalat Binyamin, Rothschild Boulevards, Dizzengoff Street, the Rabin memorial, Tel Aviv Museum, Azrieli Mall, Ramat Aviv and Tel Aviv University.
