Train רכבת:

Starting from September 2018 there is a direct train line between the airport and Jerusalem's central bus station which is at the main entrance to the city.
Train runs every half hour and cost 17 shekel per ride. I think there is a discount if you buy round trip.

To get to the train: Leave the terminal through exit 01 and it is directly on your right. You can buy a ticket from the automatic machines outside the station entrance.
Please note that the train only runs during the day and not at night. Check the Israeli rail  website in advance if you are not sure.

Need to get 2 adults + 1 toddler + tons of luggage to J'lem. I've taken all transportation methods in the past, but never with a toddler and so much luggage.

Is the train still feasible? Nesher? Or just take a cab from the airport?

TIA.

Train probably not.
Best is a pre-arranged private Cab.

Take prices of a cab and slice it by a 1/3 that what you should be paying. ( This my opinion and I've been doing it for a few years)

What's the best way to pay for the train from airport to jerusalem for adults traveling with teens? Should I bother to get a rav kav or can I pay without it? Would each person need their own rav kav?
