Zichron Yaakov is a rather small town on top of a mountain, with main roads at the foot of the mountain. This means buses that enter Zichron are infrequent, but it is rather easy to get a bus to the west or north city entrances (on roads 4 and 70 respectively). Each of these junctions are about 2½ km from the city center. Infrequent local buses make this trip, or you can wait for a taxi or hike it.
Zichron is small enough you can usually walk from place to place. Inside Zichron there is a limited bus service. There are four internal bus routes (1, 2, 3, 5) but they mainly come every 60 minutes. Bus 5 also serves Mall Zichron shopping center.
