The Transportation Ministry says it is organizing buses starting immediately for Israelis returning to the country via Egypt’s Taba crossing on Israel’s southern border .
Buses will be available for passengers arriving at Taba International Airport and crossing the border with Egypt into Israel, the ministry says. Buses will be waiting at the exit of the border terminal in Israeli territory, timed to the landings of the repatriation flights at the Egyptian airport.
Buses outside the terminal will depart for Eilat Central Bus Station, Beersheba Central Bus Station, Ben Gurion Airport (long-term parking), and Tel Aviv Savidor Center train station.
