The Rakavlit (), a diminutive of , meaning 'cable car', and itself a contraction of , 'train', and , 'cable'), is a gondola lift that is a part of Haifa's expanded public transport system complementing the existing city bus and Metronit BRT lines.
The cable car serves 6 stations, only three of which are open for passenger use. Its route runs from the HaMifratz Central Bus Station and public transit hub at the foot of Mount Carmel to the Technion and then onto the University of Haifa, for a total distance of 4.4 kilometres and an elevation gain of 460m. Most of the passengers are students. Total travel time from the Check Post Junction to the University of Haifa is around 19 minutes.
