EGGED BUS LINES (Heb/Eng)
When logging
on, choose the ENG (English) information section located in the
upper left hand corner of the page. Bus fares
are subsidized for residents of of some places outsides of Jerusalem
(Example: to Kiryat Arba, Kochav Yaakov and Tel Tzion) and are
cheaper than a Jerusalem intra-city bus.
New
immigrants that live in YESHA are entitled to 'Chofshi-chodshi',
which is a bus card that lets a new immigrant travel all over the
country (except Eilat) as much as they like for a payment of about
150 NIS every month. In order to get the card, you need to supply
Veronique with 2 passport size pictures, a photocopy of your teudat
oleh, and of your teudat zehut. You will receive a card that is
good for a year. Take this card to the Central Bus Station where
you pay the 150 NIS and you receive a bus pass, good for that
month. You have 'rights' for this special discount for about a 3
year period. This is given to you also because you are a resident
of YESHA. If you should decide to leave your new home in YESHA,
please know that you will have to forfeit these rights.
