Kfar Saba sits between Route 4 and Route 6, with trains at its southern edge and most buses run by Metropoline. Use bus.gov.il (opens in a new tab) (the Ministry of Transport's journey planner) or Moovit (opens in a new tab) to plan, and pay with a Rav-Kav card, which you can top up from your phone with Rav-Kav Online (opens in a new tab). The national public transport information line is *8787. The figures below are from the Ministry of Transport timetable for Wednesday 7 October 2026 (Open Bus Stride (opens in a new tab)); timetables change, so check before you travel.
Trains
Two stations serve the city, both on Route 531 at the southern edge:
- Kfar Saba - Nordau, inside the city: 108 trains a day stopped there (both directions), first at 05:31 and last at 00:31.
- Hod HaSharon - Sokolov, just over the boundary, serving the south-west of the city, with the same trains.
Trains run towards Herzliya (53 a day) and south through Tel Aviv to Be'er Sheva (29), Rishon LeZion Moshe Dayan (12), Ashdod (8) and Ashkelon (6). City lines 3 and 17 end at the Nordau station stop. Book and check trains on rail.co.il (opens in a new tab). Hebrew Wikipedia said a Kfar Saba North station on the Eastern Railway was expected in 2026; we could not confirm it has opened.
Buses to Tel Aviv and beyond
Most intercity lines start at the central bus station on Weizmann St or at the industrial zone stop in the east:
| Line | To | Trips that day |
|---|---|---|
| 149 | Tel Aviv central bus station (from the industrial zone, almost round the clock) | 83 |
| 567 | Tel Aviv central bus station | 70 |
| 249 | Carmelit terminal, Tel Aviv | 55 |
| 575 | Tel Aviv Savidor railway station | 32 |

| 561 | Kiryat Arye station, Petah Tikva | 39 |
| 29 | Herzliya (HaShunit) | 99 |
| 444 | Ben Gurion Airport terminal 3 | 16 |
For Jerusalem, Egged 950 (Jerusalem - Netanya) stops at the Kfar Saba - Ra'anana North junction on Route 4 (41 trips that day). The same junction has Egged 921 to Haifa (Hof HaCarmel) and 821 to Afula, and Kavim 641 to Netanya and Petah Tikva. Otherwise take the train and change in Tel Aviv.
Around town
Metropoline runs about 94% of bus calls in the city. The busiest internal lines are 14 (112 trips a day), 8 (106), 2 (63) and 3 (31). Many lines to Ra'anana, Hod HaSharon and Herzliya (1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 29, 39) also work as cross-town lines. A terminus in the green neighbourhood (Shchuna Yeruka) starts lines 11, 12 and 148. For Kfar Saba Park: lines 2 and 5 to the Country Club stop (stadium gate), 3 and 5 to Motzkin (HaGalil gate), or 1 and 2 to Weizmann 177 (Weizmann gate) (municipality (opens in a new tab)).
The "Bus stops near me" tool on this site lists the stops around you and the lines that serve them.
Shabbat and holidays
There is no regular public transport from Friday afternoon until Saturday night, or on festivals. Check Friday timetables on bus.gov.il. The city park and the Kaplan forest are walkable on Shabbat.
Bikes and e-scooters
The municipality has enforced the registration and number-plate rules for light electric vehicles since 1 May 2025 (notice (opens in a new tab)) and the licensing law for electric bicycles and scooters since 1 September 2025 (notice (opens in a new tab)). Kfar Saba Park has a pumptrack. We found no public bike-share scheme in the city.
Driving and parking
With a resident permit, the first 3 hours are free in blue-and-white zones on Weizmann St, in the industrial zones and in municipal car parks, as long as you start Pango, Cellopark or EasyPark; a zone permit (26.80 NIS) reserves your zone from 17:00 to 07:00, and senior-resident permits (women 62+, men 67+) give free parking in blue-and-white bays (parking (opens in a new tab); permits (opens in a new tab)). The municipality runs a car park at the Nordau station.
