Checking student public transportation discounts

Students can often get reduced fares on public transit. The rules depend on your age and student status. HOW IT USUALLY WORKS • Eligible students can apply for a discount on a personal Rav-Kav. • You normally need to show proof of enrollment, such as a letter from your school or a student ID. • The discount is usually a percentage off the regular fare. STEPS • Check the current eligibility rules on the Israeli public transit authority's website. • Ask your school's office if they provide a form or letter. • Apply through the online portal or at a service center. • Load your discounted card. TIPS • Ask your school before you buy a monthly pass. • Discounts may require that you be under a certain age. • Foreign students sometimes face extra steps. Ask the school office, who have probably handled it before. WATCH OUT FOR A discount only applies if the card is registered and loaded correctly. If your fare seems full price, ask for help.
