Modiin has two railway stations and direct trains to Jerusalem, Ben Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv. Buses are run by Kavim. Stop-by-stop details are on the Getting around page; this guide covers how the system works.
Trains
- Modiin Center (opened 2008) is underground next to Azrieli Mall and the bus terminal. Paatei Modiin (opened 2007) is on Route 431 near the Anava interchange, opposite the Einav centre (municipality, Aug 2026 (opens in a new tab)).
- Both lie on the line from Modiin Center via Ben Gurion Airport and Tel Aviv to Haifa, and on the line to Jerusalem-Yitzhak Navon (opened 31 March 2022). From 15 March 2026 Israel Railways extended the Tel Aviv line to Haifa and reopened Paatei Modiin (Israel Hayom (opens in a new tab)). Check times in the Israel Railways app.
- Parking: at Modiin Center, rail passengers park free for 24 hours in the Lev HaIr car park after scanning the station QR code, then NIS 70 a day; Paatei Modiin's north and south lots are paid (Pango or Cello) with no parking 02:00-05:00 (municipality (opens in a new tab); railway page (opens in a new tab)).
