How to behave in Moniyot Sherut

For a tourist, Sherut may seem like an unusual form of transport. Once in a taxi, you will have to wait until the cabin is filled with passengers. If you stopped a sherut on the road, simply by raising your hand, then entering the salon, name your stop and the driver will drop you off at any point on the route.

You can pay for the fare right away when you get into the taxi, or you can take your seat and give your money to the driver. Of course, it is very exciting to transfer your money through the wrong hands, but don’t worry – the change will be given back to you.

Please note that the sherut operates on Shabbat (Friday and Saturday evenings), and the fare will increase by several shekels.
