Thousands of people have taken advantage of the advanced purchase option, and they have secured slots on buses to and from Kever Rashbi for Lag B’Omer. The advanced purchase guarantees one an assigned seat on bus with a designated departure time and pick up location.

The daily HaMevaser reports that while there is no pressure for those seeking advanced seating purchases, previous years’ experience shows that as we get closer to Lag B’Omer, this will change abruptly and the sooner that travelers buy their tickets the better for all concerned.

Egged stresses that the advanced purchase of a ticket guarantees one a spot and avoids disappointment and confusion.
