Bus Both Arab and Egged buses service the West Bank. Arab buses leave from two main bus stations in East Jerusalem: the Suleiman St. Station, between Herod’s and Damascus Gates, for routes south, and the Nablus Rd. Station for points north. The most practical spot from which to catch Egged buses is the central bus station on Jaffa Rd. in West Jerusalem, but most buses traveling to the West Bank also stop at the Nablus Road Station. For most tourists, however, Egged buses should be a last resort in the West Bank; they cost more, and often only take you to the outskirts of Palestinian towns. Take them to the Jewish settlements.

Arab bus schedules to the West Bank are, well, flexible; the intervals listed here are approximate. Transportation to Nablus is particularly erratic. Buses may also pick up people from the side of the road. Arab buses have light blue stripes on the side (except for the Ramallah bus, which is red), while Egged buses are red and white.
