The Rav Kav has been totally redone and one can now get unlimited busses in tlv and jlem for like 30 and change for a day or busses and trains for like 40ish or something.

This was dealt with on another thread quite recently, especially the van aspect. (maybe the stuff to do in israel master thread?)

the bus only runs on tuesday night, when there is no train.
Nesher is closer to 70 shekel, and can be less convenient than it used to be (it takes longer to fill up, and they only have to leave if not full 60 minutes after the first passenger gets on)
assume the prices have gone up a small amount (10-20%)
Updated the wiki a bit.
