In addition to having the second largest bus system, Israel also has one of the world's smallest subways, the Carmelit. The Carmelit is really just an underground funicular that runs up and down the side of Mount Carmel (hence its name) in Haifa, but with only 6 stations and 1.8 kilometers of track, it is about as small a subway system as one can find anywhere, and a very unique one as well.
Finally, Israel has a developing national rail system with plans for expansion over the coming years. Israel Railways operates passenger service frequently between Nahariya, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Beer Sheva, and Jerusalem, among other destinations. There is also a train station at the new Ben Gurion Airport terminal, making the train one of the best and easiest ways to get to the airport. Israel Railways also is the country's sole freight rail provider.
