Setting up Moovit and transportation payment apps

Several apps make getting around in Israel much easier. CORE APPS • Moovit: Public transit planning, with real-time bus and train information. It is the most popular app in Israel. • Google Maps: Also works well for transit and walking. • Rav-Kav Online: Lets you load your card from your phone, if your phone supports NFC. • Gett and Yango: Taxi apps. • Pango and Cellopark: Parking payment apps. • Waze: Navigation for drivers, popular in Israel. SETTING UP • Download the apps and enable location access. • Save your home, school, and shul as favorites. • Link a payment method where needed. Some apps require an Israeli number. TIPS • Check the schedule before you head out. Buses can be late. • Keep your phone charged. A portable charger helps. • Download offline maps in case of poor reception. GOOD TO KNOW Most public transit stops on Friday afternoon and does not run on Shabbat in most cities. Plan around it.
