Residents of Haifa, Israel, are expressing dissatisfaction with the "Metro-Pass" bus system due to systematic difficulties with transfers between routes. Passengers report that drivers of the rapid transit buses often prevent timely transfers on shared platforms. According to local media citing eyewitness accounts, drivers of arriving buses sometimes delay opening their doors until the preceding bus has finished boarding and is preparing to depart. Even when passengers are seen running from one bus to another, the first bus reportedly begins moving, leaving them stranded. This lack of coordination results in passengers missing their intended connections and facing extended waits for the next available bus. Citizens have questioned the efficiency of the transfer hubs when staff actions hinder their intended purpose and are calling for clearer operational guidelines for drivers at these stops.
