Yes, tourists in Israel can—and often must—use the Moovit app to navigate and pay for public transportation in 2026. Since Israeli buses, the Jerusalem Light Rail, and the Tel Aviv Red Line no longer accept cash, Moovit (partnered with Pango) serves as a digital "Rav-Kav" card. Tourists can link their international credit cards to the app and simply scan QR codes located on the vehicles to validate their rides. The app calculates the best fare automatically, applying daily caps so you never overpay. It provides real-time arrival data in multiple languages, making it much more reliable than static schedules. While you can still use a physical Rav-Kav card, the app is far more convenient for short-term visitors as it eliminates the need to find a "top-up" station. Just remember that for Israel Railways (the heavy rail), you must "Validate" upon entry and "End Ride" at the exit station to ensure the correct fare is calculated.
