Train : Isreal

Train Rail service in Israel is rather limited, and at present is only useful for travel between Tel Aviv and Nahariya via Haifa and other major towns along the northi coast. The Tel Aviv-Jerusalem line is circuitous and slower than highway travel bi considerably more scenic. Like buses, trains screech to a halt during Shabbat. Avoid traveling on Friday afternoons when the trains are most crowded. Train fares slightly cheaper than bus fares. Students with an ISIC receive a 50% discount.
