Let's face it, there's practically no list of top-notch transportation app that doesn't have Uber. Save for those in Southeast Asia where Uber no longer operates, most countries have this iconic ride-hailing platform. Including Israel. Though here, you can only book a taxi using the app, online in other places wherein getting a luxury car is a more popular option. Still, even with this limitation, Uber flourishes in Israel, with many people using it to get a ride with a reliable driver who provides excellent service. No matter where you are, you can simply open this app and you'll get a cab in no time.

Also making use of taxis in most cities in the country, you'll only get the best of the best with this app. Not to mention it's just easy and effective to use. One of its main draws is that it operates solely on cashless transactions, encouraging you to make use of your credit card for payment. Beyond that, Gett also has its own social networking feature in which, among many others, you can accumulate points after every ride to get rewards and benefits. They include getting discounts on your trips, especially on holidays.
Since cycling has become a popular public transport option in many Israeli cities, most prominently Tel Aviv, rental service Tel-O-Fun has garnered quite the popularity. And its own app makes renting a bike that much easier. Through this convenient online program, you no longer need to use your Rav Kav pass to pay for using one of the company's bikes. You can simply connect your cedit or debit card to your account in the app and it will automatically charge it for every use. This way, you can bike around any Israeli city without any hassle.
You have to note that transportation apps don't always mean ride-hailing apps. There are those that help you travel even when you have your own car. A good example is Cellopark. In whatever Israeli neighborhood you're in, no matter what city it is, one of the most stressful things about driving around in your own car is looking for a parking spot. Not with Cellopark!
