Trains
Israel Railways has two stations in the city:
- Be'er Sheva Center, next to the Central Bus Station.
- Be'er Sheva North–University, next to Ben-Gurion University and Soroka Medical Center; trains to Dimona start here.
The line north was double-tracked and rebuilt between 2004 and 2012, which cut journey times and added trains to Tel Aviv. An oleh writing for Nefesh B'Nefesh put the ride to Tel Aviv or Ben Gurion Airport at about an hour with no change; other destinations need a change in Tel Aviv or Lod.
Buses
City buses have been run by Dan Be'er Sheva since November 2016, and you pay electronically (Rav-Kav card or an app), not cash. Intercity buses leave from the Central Bus Station, a glass-roofed building with shops and cafés.
Roads
Highway 40 runs east of the city towards Tel Aviv, Highway 25 crosses it west to east (Ashkelon and Dimona), and Highway 60 heads to Jerusalem. Road 406 (Rager Boulevard) is the main north-south road through the centre. The city has more than 250 roundabouts, hence its nickname, "Roundabout Capital of Israel".
Coming next: light rail
A Be'er Sheva light rail was officially approved in August 2023 and is expected to be finished by 2033.
