Is there a difference between paying with the Rav-Pass and paying with the Rav-Kavu?

The calculation with the Rav-Pass is made for the registered primary user only.

Paying with the Rav-Pass in most cases is more cost-effective than paying in advance to the Rav-Kavu.

When validating and paying travel fares for another passenger, who is not the registered user, the user will be charged the travel fare Completed by law, for a single trip, without a 90-minute right of passage, without specific discounts or temporary and/or periodic arrangements to which the other passenger may be entitled, and without calculating the fare in the app, which is performed for the user only.

Rav-Pass is a licensed application for public transportation payments approved by the Ministry of Transportation in Israel.

Note that topping up your Rav-Kav requires NFC capability on your device.
