Better Bus Travel Coming: New Terminals Approved Across Israel

March 17, 2026

Great news for travelers planning to explore Israel by public transport! The National Infrastructure Committee has approved plans for seven new bus terminals and overnight parking facilities in key cities across the country.

The new terminals will be built in major destinations including Lod, Tel Aviv, Netanya, Harish, and Maalot-Tarshicha – all cities that international visitors frequently travel through or visit. These upgraded facilities are designed to improve bus operations and prepare Israel’s transport network for the transition to electric buses.

This is particularly good news if you’re planning to use Israel’s excellent public bus system to get around. The current bus network already connects most tourist destinations efficiently, and these improvements should make your journeys even smoother. Plus, the move toward electric buses means cleaner, quieter travel in the future.

When planning your Israel itinerary, remember that buses are often the most budget-friendly way to travel between cities. The new terminals should provide better waiting areas and facilities, making bus travel more comfortable for international visitors exploring everything Israel has to offer.
