Reduction of the price to subscribers produces economic value for users and the country

A study conducted by the Eco-Finance in cooperation with the Samuel Neaman Institute, found that traveling in the Carmel Tunnels produces a positive benefit compared to any alternate route, due to time and money savings, fuel, vehicle wear and pollution. The work showed that the value of the benefits to the users of the tunnels, certainly at peak hours, but  not only, is due to the savings in fuel and time, which is higher than the tariff. The work also showed that traveling through the tunnels saves more than 5 million liters of fuel annually and more than 2 million hours of work in the economy. Using the tunnels saves more than NIS 5.5 million to Haifa residents from reducing air pollution.
