Como o pagamento da tarifa de ônibus funciona em Israel?

7

I try to find prices for intercity buses in Israel, but I always get to weak designed website of a company representative (Egged Transport) with huge tables of stops and “other currency” instead of shekels.

So how can I calculate the exact cost of the trip from point A to point B in Israel? Are there any pitfalls with traveling without loyalty card like Rav Card? Is it true that the cost of up to 20 shekels can not be paid by debit card?

Egged's English site isn't pretty, but contains the prices. Choose origin and destination, search, then click "trip summary" to see the price.

However, Egged is not the only inter-city bus operator in Israel. Other operators, like Kavim and Metropolin have even worse sites, and in Hebrew only.

Paying small sums in credit is uncommon in Israel, often cards (credit/debit usually doesn't matter) are refused under 30 shekels. Paying with a card on a bus is also unusual.

I think there are two options:

  1. Pay cash.
  2. Buy a Rav-Kav for 5 shekels and charge it. It may be difficult to know how much to charge, or to get refunded for remaining credit.
