[edit] Railways
Petah Tikva has one railway station - the Segula Station, which is located near the Yarkon Interchange and is separated from the rest of the city. Another station is planned for the Kiryat Arye industrial zone. Both stations are near industrial zones and mainly serve commuters from other towns who work in Petah Tikva, not Petah Tikva's own population.
[edit] Light Rail
The red line of the Tel Aviv Subway will pass through Petah Tikva as a ground-level light rail system. It is planned to go through Zhabotinsky and Orlov streets and works to expand the streets and create public transport lanes is in progress as of 2005, and is expected to end in 2008.
[edit] Buses
A number of bus companies operate throughout the city, with numerous terminals. The Egged Bus Cooperative handles inter-city lines, the Dan Bus Company is responsible for lines from Petah Tikva to other cities in Gush Dan as well as Judea and Samaria (but not lines within Petah Tikva), while Kavim handles lines within the city.
The main bus terminal in Petah Tikva is the central bus station. Other terminals include the Sirkin Terminal, Beit Rivka, the Kaplan/Beilinson Terminal and the nearby mall, which is also a large transport hub.
[edit] Petah Tikva Central Bus Station
The Petah Tikva Central Bus Station, abbr. Petah Tikva CBS, is the main bus station in Petah Tikva, Israel. It serves Dan, Egged and Kavim buses. It is officially located on Zeev Orlov St. 64 on one side and Zeev Orlov St. 75 on the other.
The Petah Tikva Central Bus Station has four platforms, each of which contains a multitude of small bus stations - two platforms are in an enclosed area to the side of Orlov St. and serve Dan and Kavim buses, while the other two platforms are on Orlov Street itself and serve Egged buses.
According to Petah Tikva's municipality, there are plans to renovate and rebuild the central bus station, due to its worsening conditions (a basic analysis gave it a 4/10). The station is considered polluted, and its passengers are exposed to rainfall and other weather conditions.[1]
The following buses stop at the Petah Tikva Central Bus Station. Many of their routes, especially Egged's, do not originate in the station but come from Tel Aviv.
Notes:
- Most routes go both ways, but not all.
- Some routes are tagged with alternate route - routes which are normally different, and don't stop at the Petah Tikva CBS, but do on certain occasions.
