If you just wait for a bus at a stop in Israel, you might not catch it. Usually it only stops here if you wave your hand. Or if one of the passengers needs to get off (there's a special button inside that you absolutely have to press). Otherwise, the driver will just pass by.

Plus, the bus can drive in the second lane, overtaking someone, right near the stop. So you need to watch the road carefully so you don't suddenly miss your bus.
