Haifa Testing Electric Super Bus for Better City Travel

Planning to explore Haifa during your Israel trip? Getting around the city just got more interesting! The northern port city is testing a game-changing electric super bus that can carry 160 passengers – nearly double the capacity of regular buses.

Superbus company is running the pilot program using a high-capacity electric bus manufactured by CRRC. This isn’t just about bigger buses – they’re testing everything from performance and infrastructure to passenger experience and cost-effectiveness.

For travelers, this could mean less crowded public transport when visiting Haifa’s top attractions like the Bahá’í Gardens, the German Colony, or taking the scenic ride up Mount Carmel. The pilot will help determine if these super buses become a permanent part of Haifa’s public transport system.

While the pilot is still in testing phase, it’s worth keeping an eye on if you’re planning a visit to northern Israel. Better public transport means easier access to Haifa’s beautiful beaches, historic neighborhoods, and stunning hilltop views overlooking the Mediterranean.
