The only sense for sharing taxi is to share taxi from the Haifa train station to dorm/hotel. Otherwise, according to the prices, shared taxi (something like this [1]; actually, a van) is the cheapest variant for traveling from the airport to the dorm and it is around 16.30 EUR (otherwise, it is slightly more expensive, ~85 ILS ~ 17.30 EUR).

Really good point! Let me make it sure, it means one can reach: - Haifa Central by train (38.5 NIS if you start from TLV?) - then Paris Sq. by walk - then Gan Ha Em by Karmelit (Metro) 6.2 NIS* - then Dorms/Haifa Univ. by bus No. 37 (and more other route?) 6.2 NIS Right? * Not sure if it's correct, my guidebook says so anyway.

Haifa Central (a.k.a Haifa Merkaz) is near the Tiltan college, which is the venue of the Wednesday evening party. It is the third station in Haifa, after Hof HaCarmel and Bat-Galim. Go to Haifa Central/Merkaz in these two cases: 1. You arrive to Haifa on Wednesday between 19:00 until 22:00. (The ride takes slightly more than an hour.) In this case you shouldn't take any taxi from the airport. 2. You stay in Nof or Dan Panorama, arrive to Haifa before 21:30 and you're are ready to walk a little from the train station to the Carmelit subway station. Carmelit works until 22:00. 2011/7/30 Harel Cain <harel.cain(a)gmail.com>om>:

Please consult the train schedule. Trains from the airport go all night long (though of course at reduced frequency). You can always take a train + taxi, though I think Sherut will be easier for you - as I already wrote to you a long while ago.

Yes, sherut is the easiest option for you. You can also take a bus from Hof Hacarmel station to the hotel, but taking a sherut from the airport will be easier. 2011/7/30 Deryck Chan <deryckchan(a)gmail.com>om>:

But train is more fun for those who are railway fans :) It'd be nice to go by train and to share a taxi from the station (I go after midnight, probably buses will appear rarely then). Viatcheslav / Amikeco 31.07.2011, 10:21, "CherianTinu Abraham" <tinucherian(a)gmail.com>om>:
