Illit
Illit Transport Ltd. (Hebrew: עילית קווי תחבורה בע"מ) was an Israeli bus company that operates in Beitar Illit. Illit was merged into Kavim in 2011 but the routes are still operated under the Illit brand.
According to its official website, Illit was founded in 2005, winning its first tender to begin operations in 2006. It replaced 'Betar Tours', which had provided bus service to the city previously.[1][2] In 2011, Illit was merged into Kavim but Illit is still used as a brand for the Beitar Illit routes.
The company owns 80 buses, running 5 intracity lines including 3 lines for school children, 11 lines to Jerusalem, one to Beit Shemesh and one to Bnei Brak.
The lines serve an almost exclusively Haredi population. As such, all Illit lines are Mehadrin, observing gender-separation.
