TRANSPORTATION

On the arrival day, Sunday April 29, we intend to arrange shared taxis, free of charge, from Ben-Gurion (Tel-Aviv) airport to the conference site at Ben-Gurion University. We will send an approximate timetable of the shared taxis later, after we know participants' flight plans. People who are in the Tel-Aviv area on Sunday and wish to arrive independently to Ben-Gurion airport and join the taxis should let us know. The meeting point at the airport will be next to the Steimatzky book store at the reception hall to your right as you exit the customs check.

At the end of the conference (Thursday evening, May 3, and Friday morning, May 4) we intend to arrange transportation from Beer-Sheva to Ben-Gurion airport and to Tel-Aviv.

If you come on Sunday from another place in Israel, or leave on Thursday/Friday to another destination, please let us know on the registration form - perhaps we will be able to assist.

GETTING TO BEER SHEVA INDEPENDENTLY

If you choose to arrive at Beer Sheva independently by public transportation, the best way is to take a train or a bus. If you take a train, get off at Beer Sheva North (one stop before the final). If you take a bus, get down at the University/Hospital stop. In either case, the university is 5 minutes by foot from the station.

For timetables of buses and trains see:

It is not advisable to arrive by car, as the parking at the university is very limited. However, if you do choose to arrive by car, this map may be of help. Also, in this case please send an e-mail to inaviv@math.bgu.ac.il or call 08-6461689 to obtain a parking permit.

If you have any difficulties, please call any of us at one of the phone numbers below. Below is also the phone number of a very reliable taxi driver who works with the BGU math department.
