?Nechonit?is a combination of three words: mechonit (car), neche (disabled) and nechonut (readiness). The Yad Sarah volunteer organization has 22 specially-equipped vans called nechonit. These are used to transport any physically challenged person in Israel to wherever he wishes to go. Among the regular users are patients in need of treatments, grandparents wanting to visit their grandchildren, handicapped teenagers being brought to school, or tourists picked up at the airport and taken to see sights around the country. But the "nechonit" will also drive the wheelchair-bound to a wedding or the family picnic. The nechonit, acting as public transportation, will take anyone in need anywhere - and this at a third of the actual cost. Each month some 10,000 people are transported in a nechonit. The vans, all of them donations, cost $60,000 per van. The special Yad Sarah service is available in the following cities: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Beersheva, Nahariya and Rishon Lezion.
