Used Bus Ticket (for 10 DAN (www.dan.co.il) city bus rides in Tel Aviv)

8 July 2008.

Any city bus ride in Tel Aviv usually costs 5 sheqels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_new_sheqel) and 20 agorot.

It's more convenient to buy this 10 time use ticket which costs 41 sheqels and 60 agorot. The driver punches a hole in the ticket each time you board a bus.

Punching holes made by drivers are of different shapes, some are like a plus (+) sign, some like a star, some like a key hole and some truly abstract.. :)
