Customer Service Center – Hadassah Operating Hours:

Fridays & Holiday Eves: 09:00-13:00

Starting this evening, Thursday, February 27, 2025, passengers can travel on the light rail all the way to Hadassah Ein Kerem, following the completion of the Red Line extension from the northern part of the city – Neve Yaakov and Pisgat Ze'ev – to the south.

The extension was completed after successfully passing all certification and safety tests and obtaining the necessary approvals to operate 12 new stations.

We acknowledge that the past few weeks have presented challenges, but these difficulties were expected – launching any new and advanced transportation system requires a period of adjustment before reaching full commercial operation and optimal stability. We remain committed to continuously improving your travel experience.

This is a significant step in improving public transportation in the city, increasing accessibility, reducing traffic congestion, and enhancing travel efficiency in the capital.

Thank you to everyone involved – the improvement is already here, and relief is on the way!

Dear Passengers,

In accordance with the Price Control Order and the directives of the Ministry of Transport, fare updates for the light rail will take effect starting February 25, 2025 (27 Shevat 5785).

The single ride fare on the light rail will be 8 ILS across all payment methods (Rav-Kav or mobile apps). This ticket allows free transfers between the light rail and buses for 90 minutes within a 15 km range.

When transferring between a bus and the light rail within a range of up to 15 km within 90 minutes, a price difference of 2 NIS will be charged to passengers paying through a travel arrangement (stored value or mobile app), effective as of the date of this publication.

The fare update applies only to single rides and does not affect monthly or daily unlimited travel passes.

Dear passengers! We are happy to inform you that the Cfir The Light Rail is extending the hours of operation at our service center in the Clal building. Starting Sunday, November 10, 2024, on Sunday-Thursday, our center will be open to the public until 19:00 in the evening! Our service representatives will be happy to assist you.

Dear passengers,
Please note that the Ministry of Transport and the app operators are currently coming up with a solution to the problem of validation during GPS disruptions.
Please note that all passengers who use the mobile applications for the purpose of validating the trip on the light rail in Jerusalem are required to update the application and validate the trip at the station before entering the train. In case of GPS interference, the application will detect that there is an interference and will ask the passenger to manually select a ride on the light rail and the relevant station.
Have a nice trip!
