Rakavlit

The Rakavlit (Hebrew: רַכַּבְלִית), a diminutive of רכבל, meaning 'cable car', and itself a contraction of רכבת, 'train', and כבל, 'cable'), is a gondola lift that is a part of Haifa's expanded public transport system complementing the existing city bus and Metronit BRT lines.

[1] The cable car's route runs from the HaMifratz Central Bus Station and public transit hub at the foot of Mount Carmel to the Technion and then onto the University of Haifa, for a total distance of 4.4 kilometres and an elevation gain of 460m.

Total travel time from the Check Post Junction to the University of Haifa was originally estimated at 17 minutes.

It is anticipated that all discounts (such as student and senior rates) presently available on other transit systems will be available on the cable car, which will also be fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.

[6] Test runs began on the cable car line in April 2021,[7] with a planned opening date of October 10, 2021.
