With a 13-14 kilometer drive to Yerushalaim, there are 3 different bus lines/routes. On busy hours buses come frequently, normally every 10-15 minutes. It is approximately a half hour bus ride to Ramat Eshkol and 10-15 minutes maximum to the Ramot mall.

With a car it's a little more than 10 minutes to Ramot (in yerushalaim) and about 20 minutes to the Mir Yeshiva.

Residents (who contributed to this page) agree that owning a car definitely makes traveling easier, but it is not a necessity and the local transportation is very reliable and quick.
