Israel Public Transport and the Rav Kav
How does it work the rav kav?
i.e. when i use my rav kav, why do i get an additional 25% loaded on? and how does it work that i can use it on multiple providers? who pays who? it seems a different system than in other countries, where possibly the provider receives all the income - is this true? and sometimes there is a 90 minute window of free travel, do the different buses i use get the same money? |

Wrong forum, this has nothing to do with either ElAl or any carrier, it never should have been posted over here, |
I alerted a mod that this should be moved to the Middle East forum instead

All of the above being said, the new apps will likely eventually replace Rav-Kav. For now, they both work. In most cases, the apps will end up being cheaper than Rav-Kav (conceptually it is distance-based pricing). A big benefit of the apps is that they charge you retroactively based on the lowest price (meaning if you traveled enough to have made it worthwhile to buy a monthly pass, then at the end of the month it will only charge you the monthly price, not each individual price; if you didn't, it will charge the individual trips - so you no longer need to guess if you'll need a daily/weekly/monthly pass) |

Public transportation in Israel is significantly subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation In most cases, the apps will end up being cheaper than Rav-Kav (conceptually it is distance-based pricing).

Right, but for example, if i travel on a 'afikim' bus line from TLV to Jslem, and pay the driver to put 50 shekel onto the rav kav, then the next day i use the rav kav for a Jslem city bus, how will egged get that 50 shekel from Afikim?
That would be good, as in London. |
