Tel Aviv Transportation

We arrived in Tel Aviv and promptly came to a screeching halt. The Tel Aviv traffic was terrible. It was a slow ride across town to get to our hotel. The longer we stayed in Tel Aviv, the more I noticed all the alternative vehicles being used. I was not too surprised by this, in view of the traffic, but I was surprised at how many accommodated multiple people, especially children. The variety of the vehicles was also noticeable.

I saw the first vehicle parked here and took this photo. Later, while walking the neighborhood, a woman passed me on this one with one child in front of her and one behind her. She could just as easily have two small children behind her.

You can note that the vehicle below is actually a three-wheeler with two front wheels. They zipped right along on it.

You have to look close but the vehicle below is a four-wheeler and this young woman was riding it right in the street traffic.

This vehicle was my favorite. I’ve never seen an electric scooter with a sidecar before.

The last photo is of a ‘rental’ electric scooter. These were parked all over town and used frequently. I don’t know if they are supposed to carry two people, but they certainly could and did. It’s like our “last mile” program in the States.
