Good news for parents and their children: in Haifa there is a unique service of flexible public transportation, Titiktak, so that there is no longer any need to worry about transportation for the children and youth.
Titik the public transportation service will soon celebrate three years of operation in the city of Haifa. The service, which is designed to provide flexible public transportation adapted to passengers, provides a customized solution for the youth and their parents. We spoke with the manager of the "Titak" service in Haifa, Tsali Shabbo, and heard from him about the benefits that Titak brings to young people living in the city.
Tell us how many users of the app are teenagers?
30% of the passengers in Tiktak's minibus service are young people under the age of 18. The percentage of young people using Tiktak is actually higher than their proportion in the population, which reaches about 20%. These data indicate that the service is popular among children and youth in Haifa.
Why would teenagers prefer Titik over buses?
"The flexible travel service allows children to reduce their dependence on their parents when it comes to transportation to schools, classes, youth activities, and entertainment. The youth are used to using technology, so the use of the innovative Titik service is suitable for them. Traveling on Titik minibuses saves changing buses. The trip is done virtually Direct to the destination and without many stops along the way. There is a seat for each passenger, and there is no need to stand during the trip. In addition, there is a socket for charging the phone."
Have you encountered reluctance to use Titak due to the lack of a line and the need for parents to enter credit information in the application?
No, because the Tiktok service offers solutions. Parents can purchase a 10-trip card for their children, thus leaving control of the credit card in their hands. The parents enjoy the benefit Titek brings to their children and therefore choose to cooperate. Parents who do not wish to purchase a card or let their children use their credit information in the application can always order the minibus through their own phone.
Why do parents choose to use a service that is more expensive than a regular bus?
It is true that ordering a Titik minibus is more expensive than a bus, but the service provides a solution that is more similar to a "special" taxi, which is significantly more expensive compared to buses. Titek is an alternative to the parents' need to drive their children to schools, classes, youth activities and entertainment, thus saving parents time, fuel and the need to look for parking. Also, the use of the application for the purpose of receiving the service adds a dimension of personal security to the child - the driver's name appears in the application, there is control over the route and updates regarding the progress of the trip in real time.
It's just a shame that they graduated him... and there will be no more Tiktok

A pleasure of service
Significant help for parents without a car to bring children to school
A big help for the elderly without a car at a reasonable price and not insane amounts of taxi fare and without the hustle and bustle of the regular buses.
One of the best things that happened in Haifa in recent years.
I wish we were in Kiryat Bialik!!!
Personal information: The residents of Verdia on the Sea do not enjoy the service and are forced to continue driving their children to school and classes. Tiktik's claim is that there is no bus stop there, so they do not come. No bus, Tiktik only special taxis and the parents' shuttles.
You laughed. Most of the time there are no shuttles available. Especially the rush hours, which in terms of the TAC case are 24/7. It doesn't matter what time you book the app, it takes an hour and a half to find the shuttle, and in addition to that, there are also long waiting times for the shuttle itself. Service failed
Incorrect and misleading response. Feel free to try Titik every day. If you cannot find a car, send an SMS to the number 052-5199636 and we will try to check and help in real time.
In which neighborhoods in Haifa does the case work?
In all of Haifa with the exception of Kiryat Haim (Decision of the Ministry of Transportation)
Good news indeed. Good Morning
