Where can you get rav kav tickets.
Can you order one online?
Is there a weekly ticket?

If you mean you want to fill your rav kav - you can do that on the bus or at train stations or some bus stops have stations.
I never heard of weekly passes. There are daily or monthly ones though.

They are not tickets, they are cards. You could get a single use one from the driver, I think. But it’s easier to just get a card. Fill it with an erech tzavur. If you will be using many busses, learn the zones to economize. There is a daypass option.

I think the OP wants to know how and where the get the rav kav card in the first place.

I’d imagine that there would be a kiosk at the airport.
In many malls in Jerusalem and the central bus station.

There are daily and monthly passes for everywhere, weekly for some places.
Daily pass for the whole country is 60 NIS. Daily pass in Yerushalayim is 13.5 NIS.
In Yerushalayim you cannot put money on the rav kav through the driver any more. There are machines and stores.(you might still be able to buy an anonymous rav kav from drivers. I'm not sure) In other cities you can pay the driver, even without a rav kav. (No discount or daily pass)
To get a rav kav you have to go to the rav kav center, with ID. Some people have an anonymous rav kav gemach for guests.
For any information about transportation in Israel, call *8787.

A Rav Kav can no longer be filled on a bus. If you get on a bus without a Rav Kav you can buy an anonymous Rav Kav for NIS 5 in addition to the bus fare and you can put more money on it once you get off the bus.

Here's a page that lists locations where one can get a personal (or anonymous if you like, but if you lose an anonymous, the money on it is lost) Rav Kav.

You can purchase an anonymous card from the bus driver. It costs 10 shekalim - 5 for the card and 5 for the fare.
You can then refill the card in various places throughout the city (including by every light rail train station).

If you want a card with your picture on it, you have to go to one of the places linked above. In yerushalayim, there is a Rav Kav store in the Tachana Hamerkazit and in the Shefa mall.
Bring your teudat zehut or passport with a valid visa.

There's 2 ways to do it. One put on money and each ride is deducted from the money. When you put on 100 shekels you get like 125 credit. For a child you get double, so put on 100 shekels and get 200 credit.

Prices depend on distance and city. Bigger cities are more expensive but will have a free transfer to a second bus.

You can buy a daily, weekly or monthly pass for specific cities or areas. You can buy a pass for example that includes Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bet Shemesh etc. Or just a pass for Jerusalem.

You can load money and passes through the Rav Kav app which is also in English.

Free for 5 and under.

In Yerushalayim you can get it in the Rav Shefa Mall.

A. If you tell us where you are going to be, what cities you will be going to, etc. we can try helping you with prices.
B. This is an old thread and a lot has changed since, anyway. You might want to start a new thread, or re-ask all the questions, to make sure you're not getting any wrong information here.

Tourists bring in money.

But tourists won't come if they feel unwelcome.

I recently set my child's Rav kav up to get the double fare with an American passport so it is doable

No one is skipping the trip to Israel over rav kav prices.
