There are inner-city and intercity buses. You must either have a reloadable Rav-Kav card or use one of the 4 phone apps authorized for this purpose.

You can pay for this transport with Rav-Kav, or phone app. Alternatively, you can buy a paper ticket directly at the self-service machines at the stations.
"Sherut" Vans
Some cities offer public transport with vans that work like buses.

You can order a taxi through GETT app, or signal for a passing taxi to stop. The value of the ride is calculated by the taximeter.
