Fleet and operations
Egged Ta'avura operates routes in the areas of Netanya, Mevaseret Zion, Ma'ale Adumim, and the west bank. The company was also slated to operate routes in Beitar Illit, but failed talks with the Illit bus company resulted Illit taking over the transportation in the Israeli settlement and city. It has a fleet of about 650 buses, of which about 220 are used for public transport. Originally, its fleet was entirely rented from Egged on a one-year contract, until it was able to buy new European buses. The rented fleet was mostly transferred to Egged's service in Jerusalem. In February 12 2016, All routes in northern Negev were transferred to Dan BaDarom. The intracity service in Ashkelon will be transferred to Dan BaDarom in May 2016.
