My condolences on being in Israel. But since you’re in Haifa, you should ride the Carmelit, which with one line and six stations is the smallest subway system in the world. (In Tel Aviv they’re building one subway-surface line, which locals doubt will ever be completed even more than New Yorkers doubt SAS will be built.)
