Public Transport Operator Rankings: Who Is Lagging and Who Leads

In depth

According to Ynet, in the first half of the year more than 2% of the trips operated by bus companies in the country recorded delays or were not carried out at all. According to Bizportal, in the half-yearly ranking of the National Public Transportation Authority, regional councils and small operators lead, and Tnufa and Dan Be'er Sheva are plunging.

According to Globes, the Transport Ministry is expected to publish a report summarizing the operators' performance in the first half of 2026. Electra Afikim leads among the large operators with 84.62 points, while Tnufa is ranked last with 50.89 points. The National Public Transportation Authority is trying to thin out the weaker companies from the market.

According to Bizportal, in the passenger survey the order is reversed, and the weight of quality in tenders has risen to 65%. According to Globes, Dan is at the bottom of the Transport Ministry ranking, but in the passenger satisfaction survey it reaches fourth place, and even after an improvement of more than 10% in its score, the gap remains large.
