Trains

Hod HaSharon has two stations, both on its northern boundary near Highway 531:

  • Hod HaSharon–Sokolov, on Sokolov Street at HaTayasim Street. It opened in 2006 and until 2018 was the end of the line from Beersheba via Tel Aviv. In 2018 the track was extended west to Ra'anana South and in 2020 joined the Coastal Railway, which gives a second route to Tel Aviv via Herzliya and a change for trains north to Netanya and Haifa.
  • Kfar Saba–Nordau, a little further east.

The two stations swapped names in 2006 and took their present names in 2010, so older maps and directions can be confusing. Check times on the Israel Railways site or app.

Buses

Many bus lines stop at the Sharonim terminal by the Sharonim mall on HaYarkon Street. You pay with a Rav-Kav card or a payment app, not cash. Plan trips with Moovit or Google Maps.

Roads

The city is ringed by Highway 531 to the north, Highway 40 to the east, Highway 5 to the south and Highway 4 to the west, and Road 402 runs through it. Many families still keep a car for errands and for getting to the train.

Coming next: the metro

The Tel Aviv Metro's M1 line is planned to run through western Hod HaSharon; it is expected in the 2030s.
