We left the station with my husband and child for Jerusalem early in the morning. And, to be honest, it was scary. Shabbat, public transport does not run. There are a lot of minibuses, most of them, as we understand, illegal. Therefore, there were serious conversations in raised tones for the passengers, shouts, heated drivers then "stepped on the gas", then braked sharply. We were lucky with the driver and the minibus. The people gathered quickly and we left safely.
In general, the impression of the station is not the best. Perhaps it was influenced by a day off, early morning or rainy weather, but I don't want to be there again yet.
