A new report released by the Movement for Freedom of Information reveals that the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality collected approximately 573 million shekels from parking and bus lane tickets between 2024 and May 2026. The municipality issues around one million tickets annually.
The report, published on October 5, 2026, also indicates that about 36% of appeals filed to cancel these tickets are approved. This suggests a significant portion of drivers successfully contest their fines.
Furthermore, the data highlights a group of repeat offenders, with approximately 120,000 individuals receiving more than ten tickets within the analyzed period.
