Today (Monday), the Ministry of Transportation will officially launch the "Equal Road" reform.
This is the biggest reform in the field of public transportation in Israel in recent years.

The reform unifies the prices of public transportation in Israel, so that instead of 80 different travel rates to different parts of the country in no logical order, the rates will be distributed in such a way that a bus ride within a range of up to 15 km will cost NIS 5.5 and will allow unlimited travel between lines within 90 minutes.
A regional bus within a range of up to 40 km will cost NIS 12 and a trip within a range of up to 120 km will cost NIS 16.
Over 120 km, the trip will cost NIS 27. The prices on the Israel Railways will be more expensive, but also based on distance.
One of the big changes made possible by the price reform in public transportation is related to the prices - free-daily and free-monthly.
If until now there were different prices according to regions, then now a free-monthly-national without limit will cost only 225 NIS and a free-monthly-national combined train and bus will cost starting from 255 NIS for a distance of up to 15 km and up to a maximum price of 610 NIS without any range limit throughout the entire country.
