It's 5 shekels (slighly less than the bus), with the only real drawback being that you can't use a monthly pass or reduced fare card. They only take as many passengers as seats, so once it fills up, it's an express bus to the next person's stop (although, if it's full, it's not stopping for you). They also run on Shabbat (3 hours before sunset Friday until 2 hours after sunset Saturday), which means that for one day a week, the sheruyot function as the city's public transit system.
