- You can get a Rav-Kav at the Public Transportation Information Center in T3 upon arrival. Info on TripAdvisor
- No longer a need for a voucher
- You can ride for free with the Rav-Kav or can purchase a one-way paper ticket. If using the Rav-Kav, you still "buy" a ticket, simply the "cost" is 0 shekel. You can buy either (Rav-Kav free or paper ticket for cost) at the train station just outside T3. If using Rav-Kav, I recommend getting a round-trip ticket to save time for your return journey, if returning from Jerusalem to the airport.

Lots of tunnels, bridges and inclines.
It wouldn't make sense to (possibly) triple the budget in order to shorten an already short 20 minute ride.
160 km/h seems right to me. Very high speed, astronomical budget projects only make sense for long stretches where the gain is measured in hours, not minutes.
