A similar public transport shutdown also applies on major Jewish religious holidays (of which there are 5 days in autumn and 3 in spring in Israel), although the number of additional days is less than 8 in years when some of these holidays coincide with the Sabbath. There are exceptions in areas within the pre-1967 Israel borders that have a significant Arab population, but there are also areas/streets (particularly in Jerusalem) where even driving private vehicles on the Sabbath/festivals is prohibited. However, outside these specific zones, shared taxi/jitney services using 10-seater mini-buses (Sherut) run on designated routes throughout Israel at all hours of the day, 7 days a week.
A similar absence of Sunday buses also exists on the Isle of Lewis and Harris, although ferries do operate. There is also effectively no public transport on New Year's Day throughout Scotland.
