I am learning my way around…very slowly. I’ve found that taking taxis does not help me learn the city streets, and taxis can get expensive anyways. I’m not in much of a rush most of the time.
I rode a couple of buses around the city today. Well, I wasn’t intending on taking a leisurely ride, but that is what ended up happening. 🙂 So I learned some of the streets, a couple of bus lines, and although I am nowhere NEAR getting where I want to go most of the time, I am starting the process at least.
And off I go again…

When I was on Pilgrimage, I took the bus a couple of times and thought it was great (but, albeit, a bus and thus slowish). The clientele was much less cranky than that of Chicago, also. 🙂
have you done taxi vs. sherut?
I found the bus system was pretty good – but then I only rode once…
also be sure to try the carmelit at least once.
By the time I arrive next month, you’ll probably know your way around everywhere. You’ll be teaching me all sorts of things.
That’s the BEST part about new places! Learning the city, exploring, being lost…
I know a lot about the being lost part.
Good luck:)
Just don’t get your hand caught in the doors of the sheruts that close automatically. I learned that the hard way in Akka.
It’s funny how just about everyone speaks English in Israel but no one does in a place like Spain.
