 I think I can, I think I can,
I think I can by gilabrand
The Carmelit opened in 1959, closed in the 1980s for upgrading, and reopened in 1992. It is Israel's one and only subway.
Stenciled on the back wall of each car (there are two cars) is a verse from Leviticus: "You shall rise before the aged and show deference to the old" (19:32). You may see this on buses around Israel, too. On a crowded bus or train, it is customary in Israel to offer your seat to old people and pregnant women, especially if you are sitting at the front. If you don't, you may get some nasty looks from fellow passengers - or a piece of their mind (Israelis are not known for keeping their thoughts to themselves).
Operating hours:
Sunday - Thursday 6 am - 10 pm
Friday & holiday eves - 6 am - 3 pm
Saturday - from one hour after the Sabbath
Tickets are sold at vending machines with Hebrew and English instructions. They cost NIS 5.50 per ride.
(Actually, the Istanbul "Tunel" is shorter - only 2 stations and a track of 573 meters - but for some reason, the Carmelit is the official recordholder). Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

 At the train station in Haifa by MalenaN
When I was going to leave Rosh HaNIkraI couldn’t get any information about when a bus was leaving. After waiting for a while I asked a few car drivers for lift, but their cars were either full or were just going to a place near by. Finally a bus to Nahariya came. In Nahariya I changed buses and I didn’t have to wait many minutes. The bus from Nahariya to Akko was 7,6 shekels. It stopped in the new part of Akko, and from there it is about 15 minutes walk to old Akko. In the evening I took the train back to Haifa. It took 30 minutes and was 12,5 shekels. Leave a Comment

Haifa can be easily reached by train from Tel-Aviv, Beer Sheva, Ben Gurion airport or even from Jerusalem but that means changing trains in Tel-Aviv. Sometimes the trains are quite full, especially on Sundays and Thursdays when there are lots of soldiers. But it is an easy way to travel and much more comfortable than buses.
