Haifa - Carmelit - Kikar Pariz (Paris Square)

We took a walking tour of Haifa, this was our first stop.
This is Haifa's metro. It is an underground funicular railway. It is also hilarious. First, it is very much modeled after the Paris Métropolitain in terms of rolling stock and station design. Second, it only goes up and down Mt. Carmel. And best of all the people who built it basically did not use a level until they put in the station seats. It was fantastic!






Behold the alignment between the station platform and the rolling stock!
