It served as the terminus for the [[Jaffa–Jerusalem railway]]. The station opened in 1891 and closed in 1948. In 2005–09, the station was restored and converted into an entertainment and leisure venue marketed as "HaTachana", Hebrew for "the station" (see homepage here:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hatachana.co.il/en/|title=Hatachana – Culture, Entertainment & Leisure}}</ref>). ===Bus and tramway (light rail)=== Jaffa is served by the [[Dan Bus Company]], which operates buses to various neighborhoods of [[Tel Aviv]] and [[Bat Yam]]. The [[Red Line (Tel Aviv Light Rail)|Red Line]] of the [[Tel Aviv Light Rail]], inaugurated in 2023, crosses Jaffa north to south along [[Sderot Yerushalayim|Jerusalem Boulevard]]. ===Railway=== Of the current stations in the [[Israel Railways]] network, the [[Holon Junction railway station|Holon Junction]] and [[Holon–Wolfson railway station|Holon–Wolfson]] railway stations sit on the boundary between Jaffa and [[Holon]], while [[Tel Aviv HaHagana railway station|Tel Aviv HaHagana]] is in Tel Aviv proper, slightly to the east of Jaffa.
