Destination Signs from Israel Haifa, Israel |
Haifa, Israel's bus #80382, a Scania N-series chassis under a locally built body by "Ha'argaz LTD", is seen nearly new, only in service for a few days, on Line 37 that crosses Hifa city from one side to the other on March 21, 2015. This is an example of the buses in service these days. (Photo by Matan Zilberstein, used with permission.) |
In early days, buses used window cards like these to let people know where the bus was going to. It was only in recent history that conventional destination signs were used. This route number card has #63 on one side and #64 on the other. These routes were cancelled recently, and were replaced by another bus operator that runs a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) system. |
Information on this double sided card: Both of these routes originally went from Haifa`s suburb of Kiryat-ata toward Haifa's CBS, also known as Bat-galim CBS. As far as I can tell, the signs that says "To Vulcan Road" (right) and "To Haifa-Bay" (left) were some short variants for the route, only for the industrial area in Haifa's bay (Vulcan junction).
