Editing Ben Gurion Airport (section)

===Public transport===
Israel has an integrated nationwide [[public transport]] payment system covering multiple transit options (train, bus, and light rail) run by various operators using a single payment card: the [[Rav-Kav]]. It features flexible tariff arrangements and offers free transfers between transit methods within certain geographical zones and time periods. A public transport information office which also issues Rav-Kav cards is located in the arrivals hall of Terminal 3. With a few exceptions, most public transport options (except for taxis and service cabs) do not operate on the Sabbath (i.e., from early Friday evenings to late Saturday evenings as well as certain Jewish holidays).

A new app payment system was introduced in December 2020. The apps have a different, simpler fare system. The two supporting routing and payment are: Cello, [[Moovit]], Pango, and Rav-Pass.<ref>{{cite web |title=המלצות להתנהלות נכונה בעת השימוש באפליקציות (יישומונים) לתשלום ולתיקוף שירותי תחבורה ציבורית |url=https://www.gov.il/he/pages/public_transport_privacy_rec |publisher=The Privacy Protection Authority of Israel |access-date=26 March 2025}}</ref>

====Rail====
[[File:BenGuTra.jpg|thumb|Platform 1 of the airport train station at Terminal 3]]
[[Israel Railways]] operates the [[Ben Gurion Airport Railway Station]], located in the lower level of Terminal 3. From this station passengers may head northwest to [[Tel Aviv]], [[Haifa]] and other destinations in the north, or southeast to [[Modi'in]] and [[Jerusalem]]. The journey to [[Tel Aviv Savidor Central railway station]] takes about 18 minutes and to Jerusalem's [[Jerusalem–Yitzhak Navon railway station|Yitzhak Navon station]] about 25 minutes. There is also late night/early morning train service to and from the airport terminating at [[Be'er Sheva Center railway station|Beersheba Center]] via [[Lod railway station|Lod]], [[Ashkelon railway station|Ashkelon]], and selected destinations in between. Almost 3.3 million passengers used the railway line to and from the airport in 2009. The service does not operate on [[Shabbat]] and [[Jewish holiday]]s but on all other days it runs day and night. The line to [[Nahariya]] through Tel Aviv and Haifa operated 24 hours a day on weekdays, but these services were suspended following the COVID-19 pandemic and put on hold until railway electrification works are completed in the mid-2020s, following which the line would run from Jerusalem and terminate at [[Karmiel]] instead of Nahariya (though it would continue to service Tel Aviv and Haifa).

====Bus or taxi====
The airport is served by regular inter-city bus lines, limousine and private shuttle services, [[Share taxi|Sherut]] "shared" door to door taxi vans and regular taxis.<ref>{{cite web| title=Guidelines for Taxi Passengers| url=http://www.iaa.gov.il/Rashat/en-US/Airports/BenGurion/InformationforTravelers/TransportationToandFromtheAirport/Taxis/| publisher=Israel Airports Authority| access-date=27 April 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20061117091144/http://www.iaa.gov.il/Rashat/en-US/Airports/BenGurion/InformationforTravelers/TransportationToandFromtheAirport/Taxis/| archive-date=17 November 2006| url-status= live}}</ref> Afikim bus company provides 24 hours a day, on the hour, direct service to Jerusalem with line 485. the line departs from Terminal 3 on the 2nd floor and passes through Terminal 1.<ref>{{cite web | title=The resource cannot be found. | url=http://www.callkav.gov.il/WebForms/wfrmMain.aspx?width=1024&company=1&language=he&state=# | publisher=Ministry of Transport | access-date=30 September 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170714023040/http://www.callkav.gov.il/WebForms/wfrmMain.aspx?width=1024&company=1&language=he&state= | archive-date=14 July 2017 | url-status=dead | df=dmy-all }}</ref> [[Egged Bus Cooperative|Egged]] bus number 5 ferries passengers between the terminals and a small bus terminal in the nearby Airport City business park near El Al junction just outside the airport where they can connect to regular Egged bus routes passing through the area.
