Thank you so much! This was wonderful. So helpful. Our trip to Israel is next week. We bought your Jerusalem app. We love your style and sense of humor. Keep making videos.
Thanks! Enjoy your trip!
This is a great video. Everything these days is on the phones,apps and internet,. it's good to see that this option is available for those of us who are not technology savvy! You explained very well and it all made sense. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much! We were totally confused and ignorant about transportation in Israel. We were lucky, our friends took us around mostly by car, but couple of days we had to travel on our own. We wanted to pay in the bus, but both drivers refused to take cash and brought us where we needed for free! That was such a difference from Toronto! Although one of them was scolding us in Hebrew for 5 minutes (well deserved) but did not kick us out anyway. Looove Israelies! Tough outside, but always helpful and warm. ❤
Thank you Oren you always have informative videos in all subjects and I specially appreciate your good sense of humor that you add to to each video.
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧💙🇮🇱
Nice 👍
Great info! Thanks so much!
Excellent video as always! Thank you Oren!
My last trip to Israel was in 2019..Over the years I have made many trips to Israel…when I purchased this transit card I was told it is good for 5 years..I could reload the card next time I am in Israel…I kept my card…excellent information…toda raba….
Thank you Oren, excellent teaching...
Thank You Brother Oren for Your Video here - so Good to see You again giving us Your helpfull Tips and advices 👑💖👑
thank you for these explanations, Oren. I will visit Israel this September and wanted to explore it by public transportation. 👌🏻
Great information for visitors to Eretz Israel...very helpful...looking forward to your next one...thanks Oren!!
Great video! We hope to go to Israel later this year or early next year. Will definitely use the Rav Kav card. Really enjoy all your videos.
Right what I needed.. thanks a lot Oren!
Thanks Oren for another awesome video 👍 Many of my customers get confused with the Rav-Kav. I am going to share it with my upcoming travelers😎
Small note: on most modes of transport it's possible to pay for multiple people with one Rav-Kav using stored value. I wouldn't recommend it because usually it will display a Hebrew-only screen asking how many rides you want to pay for, but just saying it's not strictly necessary to buy one for each passenger.
I was thinking the same. If you swipe it once, and then again, it will ask if you really meant to swipe another time and how many more tickets you want to buy. It's not "obvious," but if you know what's happening, it makes sense.
Would be good to have a option for English menu on the screen to avoid confusion for international visitors. When I rescanned it came up a red picture to go to the driver. I walked up to bus driver and hand signaled 3 tickets and he pointed to the scanner and said good to go. I wasn’t really sure what happened.
If you could please make a video about the info on the payment screen and how to pay for multiple people. Thank you for the video!
I just returned a couple of days ago. Wish I would have seen this video before I left.
We always rent a car( that's a whole other video!) But we did decide to take the train into Machane Yehudah. We did find the instruction somewhat confusing and didn't realize that there was a 5 nis charge to buy the card and that each one of us needed a separate card the instructions could have been better. Having said that, the train was very convenient and clean.
As a side note, my son joined us who lived in Israel prior to covid and his card still had a credit on it! He takes the public transportation everywhere and all over the country and has had no problems with it as far as I know.
Merci ! And your video is Not boring but VERY useful.
No worries, Oren, t's all good content! No matter where I am travelling, I always do the same when departing and offer it to others at the airport or cruise port workers! 👍
Awesome information. Now i understand how the Rav-Kav system works… Thanks.
Thank you!
You’re adorable. Thank you. Very informative. 😍
I was there in September of 2022. I got a Rav Kav card at the airport at a kiosk. I used it all the time. It was awesome. I used it even for the new Rakavlit in Haifa. I could check the amount left on the card, and then load more money using just my smart phone.
Is it hard for a tourist to use it? because i'd imagine it is
do you just put bills/cash into the machine to add more $$? ...can I just give $$ to the person at the desk?...I do not do any banking thru my phone
@@skiffgreene404 i am pretty sure you can do
For example in stores it is possible
🎉Tfs.. like your channel. Looking forward to our vacation soon.. Greetings from Netherlands
Thank you! HaShem bless you!
I hope you drop a new video soon! Your posts are so intersting and I have missed them greatly!
thank you excellent video!
Thank you for the very helpful information
So helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Heyyyyyyy! How do you know I'm in Wisconsin???!! 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for all your excellent videos. I use Moovit and HOHO, myself, so I won't be getting a card anytime soon. However, I did watch the video till the end, and found it engaging, interesting and informative like all your content.. I enjoy your dry sense of humor also. 😂 Shabbat Shalom and Pesach kosher v'sameach.
תודה רבה
When I was recently in Israel, I had trouble getting a Kav Card because some of the machines did not work. But once I got it, it proved useful. I could even use it on the Egged bus from Haifa to Tiberias, and from Tiberias to Jerusalem.
I was there! ... Shalom from Baka, Jerusalem.
brilliant video. made me laugh. not waiting for passengers to get off the train first !! even on the london undergroud, people need to be reminded by station staff to allow passengers off first hahahaha.
Thanks Oren. You are a wealth of info about travel in Israel. Maybe not so much about Wisconsin, or are you?🤔

In Kansas City, Missouri all the busses are free for anyone.
Since I am not going to Kansas City, that was not useful info!!!
Love your videos! Going to Israel next week and will be visiting a friend near Netanya, coming from the hotel/beach area. Will it be difficult to change buses? I'm a bit nervous....
Blessings from Germany 🤗❤️🇩🇪❤️🇮🇱❤️
Hi Oren, great and usefull video, again! Thanks! I ´ve been to ISL last year and get used to the card very quickly. Easy! As I left, I still have the card with unused balance (at that time) of approx. 45 NIS, did I definitely lost this amount after leaving ISL? I am about to return in a couple of weeks and the money at the card woul be helpfull. But if not available amy more, I will charge it at the airport.
🙋♂️WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT VIDEO 🤗💚💚💚YALLA,BYE
Thank you so much video ! I can also use the RAV-Kav card on the Ben Gurion-Jerusalem route, or do I need a separate ticket there ?
Sweet guy who wants to help you. 😊
I do not find your videos bouring I find the very good and interesting
Hi, thank you for your info. When is exactly time regarding the sunset on Friday?
Rav kav essential...😊
Wish more places around the world had a public transportation card like the Octopus Card in Hong Kong. You can load it up and use it on any public transport and loads of places other than that. Once you're done with it, you can get a refund and your money back.
Our trip is next month
Just be very careful. I refilled my Rav Card on one of the station and money did not reflect. In the bus I was given a ticket by the checkers. Be very sure to refill from authorized person and also take a receipt for the same
I just never charged the card with humans due to potential language barrier. I’ve used train/tram station machines and Casponet ATMs where you can confirm before you leave.
❤
I'm already here and we made some mistakes with the card. Everyone was kind and forgiving though. My spouse was the one that was stressed. Lol
Can credit on the card be spent on anything else? In many countries, the similar stored value card can be used at convinience stores and for purchases in stations and airports. thanks
Thanks for adding actual captions for the Deaf
Hi. If you take the bus from Jerusalem to Masada national park you must scan the rav kav card when you step up on the bus and also when you step down at your destination ? Two times for a single trip ? Or only when you enter the bus at departure point ?
Thanks for that.
Can anyone tell me: When arriving at the airport and buying a rav kav card, can I load it with 5 daily contracts in advance? Because at my Hotel there is no train station with machines and I need a new daily ticket every morning. Thanks 🙏
While I was recently in Israel, I was told my RAV card can be used and topped up for eight years before it has to be replaced with a new one. Is that correct? Also, the RAV card machine at the airport is totally different to the machines at the tram stops, which can be confusing.
😂😂הרגת אותי חחחח
אם הסרטון הכי משעמם שלי הורג אותך… תראי עוד כמה :)
שיש חוש הומור גם המשעמם מעניין🙃
Please make how to use moovit app in Israel
Thanks for the info!
When I get a Ravkav at the airport and a load it ( 100 NIS) then I can use it all over Israel until it’s used? Let’s say, if I go from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv often in a week , so I can use the card ?
TIA
We (2 couples) had been in Israel from middle September to end of September this year. We only had 1 RAV KAV Card and used it together on the domestic and overland busses. You just have to put in the number of travellers in the machine on the bus, and the whole fare for (in our case) 4 people was substracted from the card. PLEASE NOTE, that if you take the tram in Jerusalem, EVERYONE needs to have his own RAV KAV Card !!!
Hi!! I made alyah almost 2 years ago and still finding almost impossible to take a proper bus ride. Can you explain the difference between the lines and frequency?
Is it safe to ride the train after 10 pm to Jerusalem? We are arriving late in t LV then,going to the hotel. I enjoy all your videos , makes the trip very informative and hopefully I will feel more comfortable once there. Thank you!❤
Yes, it is.
Thanks for the information. Will there be a chance in the near future that Israel decides for 'contactless payment'? (Payment with credit cards / phones which charges directly from your bankaccount.) It works the same as any contactless payment in the supermarket but in the public transport you have to check in and check out to set the price.
There is on some busses and the train, but not all busses support it.
Busses support it usually in the Dan area/tel aviv, but not in Jerusalem
Thanks so much Oren 🇮🇱💙
I am planning for Israel tour.
How to find guide?
Make a video about the cats in Israel, that will be the most watched video!
After watching this video twice now as well as researching the Rav Kav website l still do not understand it. If l purchase a daily contract for, let's say, up to 75 km does it mean that all of my journeys added up on that day must be no more than 75 km or is it just that 1 single journey must be up to 75 km but l can do multiple journeys up to 75 km on that daily ticket? 🤔🤔🤔
Funny. Does that include other states as well, besides Wisconsin?
Not sure if the apps are an alternative to the card or they just digitalize it?
I have a few questions
In the monthly pass
There is (green) (yellow)(grey), etc
What do these colours mean ?.
Also, I bought a monthly pass it's up to 40k
And my daily trips are about 50k
Yet the 40k says green
75k says azure
225km says grey
Can you explain?
Please add galilee tour on your app
hello sir, how to pay fine for my Ravkav online, and jow much
Can you make a video how the israel people celebrate holyweek?
can be also used the card for the buss 445 from airport to tel aviv?
I used it on the bus from Haifa to Tiberias, and from Tiberias to Jerusalem. Although from the airport, I recommend the train.
Thank you for the helpful yet boring advice 😴
Not boring at all, at least no5here in Florida. Maybe Wis?
About children under 5, they ride for free only if they are accompanied by a ticket holder adult and only one child for each adult ticket holder so one adult with two children under 5 will need to buy a ticket for one of them. The second child is entitled for a 50% discount but you´ll need to have a minor profile to get the discount, something that is not possible with the basic Anonymous card and is too complicated (if even possible) for a tourist.
Hello, if I want to travel from Jerusalem to Ein Bokek, Dead sea, can I use Rav Kav?
Yes
Great, thank you, I have read that if it is palestinian territory, i cant use it
Thanks! Did you film this video this week?❤
Yes 😊
@@Travelingisraelinfo 💗
שלום 🇮🇱
Can you do more videos about politics and the Israeli society. They’re fascinating 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Yes, he is brilliant at it
When I have loaded stored value onto my Rav Kav cards in the past, I noticed that there was a discount at certain levels and the more stored value you put on the card, the larger the discount. That was true from 2019 and as recently as late 2022. Is this still the way it operates when adding stored value?
no, sadly that was canceled.
@@perimiter Grrr, ugh, and sigh.
👋 OREN,…INFORMATIVE 🤗 YES …BORING…NEVER 😁 TODAH💚💚💚
Six shekels a ride on Jerusalem buses without a card. That’s quite a lot compared to Hong Kong (6 shekels =$12), but cheaper than London.
The socialist government of Israel subsidizes many things.
1.8$=6 shekels
🙏💜❤🌞🌿🍀
can you plz make video Tel Avive to Jerusalam Train travle vlog
I am filming it tomorrow!!
@@Travelingisraelinfo i can't wait to see and travel too, thanks for quickly response
I was there during December 22. I was unable to enable all day ticket. I searched everywhere. I am no noob, I am a data engineer. I could not find it and the bus drivers show me to not pay and take a seat
"Mosad won't hunt you down." But what about Shin Bet? LOL!
I work with the Mosad. About the Shin Bet…
7:05 🤣🤣🤣

Raba todah! Shalom! 🇮🇱♥️
😅😳
Can I bring my metal detector to use on the beach please would I be stop at the airport
Another thing you don’t need for a rav kav is a tehudat zehut. Without one you can’t use the apps 😢
Passport? It is an acceptable alternative in most situations.
@@tinalettieri nope. I’ve tried it. They want an Israeli passport number! It’s a mess tbh.
@@vtcs1963 Ihaven't tried to use the app but I was able to buy one with my passport. I lost my wallet in the Rome Airport. They found it intact, even the cash, and I'll have it tomorrow but to get home from Ben Gurion I had to purchase a rav kav ironie. Fortunately I had 95 shekels in a different place. But I also had my passports.
buying ride in Apps like movit or hopon is much easier in simpler..
Totally agree... And less confusing... I got freaked out about RavKav and a local told me just use HopOn... The app stays in most texts in Hebrew altough you select English, but it's still easier.... And since the times of e-SIM's mobile data in IL is also affordable
Who do u support armenia or Azerbaijan
🕊🎚🐑🌈🇮🇱🇰🇷✌️👍🏻✌️😍🥰
I was planning a trip to Jerusalem in 2020 alone and now its impossible we all know why and now with expenses derived from Covid and with high inflation , that money is basically gone, if economy is good in following years , Jerusalem /Egypt 2025 Here I come.
It’s confusing 😂
watch this verse please
Revelation 14:12
King James Version
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
I just hate all the apps. I want less data stealing
Anonymous card works just the same as the apps. Only downside is the flexibility
@@19bendunk That's interesting thank you
What do you think of Ben Gurion? 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
@John Null Yes 🤣
Terminal 1 initial departure security check is much easier now. The queue used to be dreadful.
