Cultural Information
Did you know that Israel has one of the highest rates of public transportation usage in the world? In fact, many Israelis prefer to use public transportation over owning a car. This is not only due to environmental concerns but also because of the high cost of owning a car in Israel. Additionally, Tel Aviv, the second-largest city in Israel, has an extensive bike-sharing program called Tel-o-fun, which allows people to rent a bicycle for a low fee to travel around the city.
