2000 Terminal, more commonly known as
Arlozorov Terminal, is a bus terminal in
Tel Aviv,
Israel. It is located near the border of Tel Aviv and
Ramat Gan, next to
Ayalon Highway and the junction of several traffic arteries - Jabotinsky Road that leads to
Ramat Gan,
Bnei Brak and
Petah Tikva, Begin Road that goes to south Tel Aviv, Namir Road to north Tel Aviv and further to
Highway 2 and Arlozorov street westward to the sea.
It is part of a transportation hub that plays a major role in both short- and long-distance public transportation in Israel, which includes
Tel Aviv Savidor Central Railway Station and in the future
Tel Aviv Light Rail.
Buses of
Egged,
Dan,
Kavim,
Metropoline,
Connex,
Superbus and
Nateev Express bus companies stop at the terminal and surrounding streets.
The terminal lies in the open air, unlike the central bus stations in
Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem and some other cities, which are inside large buildings and double as shopping malls.
Future Plans
There is an effort to create a system of
bus priority for certain lines that are heavily used and that run through congested areas. This effort is being led by transportation professionals and environmental groups, such as Transport Today and Tomorrow, which seeks to improve sustainable transportation in Israel. Buses are currently subject to the same traffic as cars and creating specific lanes and other forms of prioritization would help to alleviate this problem.
