How to get a receipt when scanning my card on Tel Aviv buses? - A Woman Scanning Her Card

Some buses in the Tel Aviv area (and possibly the Jerusalem area and other places) let you just scan your Rav Kav (smart bus card) when entering from any door, with no driver interaction. These machines don't seem to print receipts.

I occasionally need to present the actual travel receipts. How do I get my receipt from this kind of payment?

In some cases there are two options -- self serve and at the driver -- and the driver prints receipts. But on some buses there's only one option.



Best Answer

You cannot get a receipt for a single fare. You can get a receipt from a Rav-Kav issued by a specific service (the train, Egged, etc.) for the entire purchase, e.g. if you purchased a 50 NIS top-off to your card.

If you need it for a record, a driver can print the last few rides you made with the card, but he/she does not have to - it's for dispute clarification purposes only.
