First issuance of the Rav-Kav card is free of charge – click here for information about Rav-Kav issuance. The personal Rav-Kav card grants discounts according to the Public Transportation Law based on the relevant profile (Regular, Youth, Student and Extended Student, Senior, Disabled, Blind, National Insurance Eligibles). After a profile expires, it’s not possible to continue using subscriptions loaded onto the card that were purchased at a discount under the profile. The card, bearing your name and photo, is personal, and subscriptions loaded onto it are non-transferable. Subscriptions loaded onto the card, as well as the amount of accumulated value on it, are insured against loss or theft and can be restored at no charge except for the renewal cost. The card is valid for eight years from the date of issue, after which a new card must be issued. For an expired or damaged card, no renewal fee is required.
Available for purchase at any Al HaKav station. The card does not include your name and photo, and information about your trips is not stored. Subscriptions loaded onto the card and the remaining balance are not insured against loss or theft. An anonymous card does not grant discounts and does not allow loading of periodical subscriptions, but enables the purchase of accumulated value and a daily pass for a Regular profile only.
Semi-Anonymous Rav-Kav
First issuance is free of charge at any Al HaKav station. Semi-Anonymous Rav-Kav grants discounts according to the Public Transportation Law based on the relevant profile (Regular, Youth, Student and Extended Student, Senior, National Insurance Eligible, Disabled with a regular or digital certificate). After a special profile expires, it’s not possible to continue using subscriptions loaded onto the card that were purchased at a discount under the profile. The card, bearing your photo, is personal, and subscriptions loaded onto it are non-transferable. The remaining balance on the card is not insured against loss or theft.
Paying Via Apps
Similar to the Rav-Kav Card, payment in the apps for the trip is based on predetermined rates. However, while payment via the Rav-Kav card is made before the trip, payment via apps is made retroactively at the end of the month, considering all applicable discounts.
