There is no public bus service in Jerusalem during Shabbat. Buses stop running approximately one hour before Shabbat on Friday and resume after Shabbat on Saturday night. Egged buses also offer relatively inexpensive public transportation to all parts of the country. With the sherut taxi service, the passenger pays a flat fee for an individual seat in a taxi. It operates regularly between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Ben-Gurion Airport, Bnei Brak, Haifa, Beersheva and Eilat.
Fares are reasonable.
A special taxi may be ordered by phone. In the city the fares are according to the meter, to locations outside the city, fares are usually agreed upon in advance. Taxi drivers are required by law to use the meter. There is a post office located in the lower level of the Forum on the Mount Scopus campus. Other branches are located throughout the city.
