Public Transport

Public Transport

Public transport in Jerusalem includes an extensive bus network and a light rail line, operated by companies like Egged and CityPass. To use the system, you must have a 'Rav Kav' smart card, which can be purchased and reloaded at various locations, including bus and light rail stations, kiosks, and convenience stores. Tickets cannot be bought on board, so make sure your Rav Kav card is loaded with sufficient credit beforehand. The bus network covers the entire city, with key hubs around the Central Bus Station and the Downtown Triangle. The light rail runs from Mount Herzl to Pisgat Ze'ev, passing through major areas like Jaffa Road and the Mahane Yehuda Market, with the Mount Herzl station conveniently located near the Yad Vashem memorial. For planning routes, use official public transport apps or the Egged website for real-time information.
