Central Tel Aviv is small enough to walk. Old Jaffa to the Tel Aviv port — almost the full length of the seafront — is about eight kilometres along the beach promenade; a comfortable walk in three or four hours with stops, or twenty minutes on a rented scooter or bicycle.
The Tel Aviv Light Rail (Red Line) opened in 2023 and runs from Bat Yam in the south through the centre to Petach Tikvah in the east. The Green and Purple lines are under construction. The dense city bus network covers the rest; the Rav-Kav smart card works on all services and is the easiest way to pay.
Scooters and bicycles for rent are everywhere — the city has more dedicated cycle lanes than almost any other Mediterranean capital. Taxis are reasonable. Uber does not operate in Israel, but Gett is the local equivalent and works the same way. Note that there is no public transport on Shabbat (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset); special private bus services and taxis fill the gap.
