They have another company that goes very often besides for egged.

There's Egged, and then "mosdos kever rochel" has their own bus a few times a day, but IIRC they're a bit more expensive then Egged.

One of these just opened in Talpiot, right next to Hadar mall, called Jerusalem Puzzle Quest.
I bumped into a friend and his family a few days ago. They had just "escaped" and said they had a great time.
