If you've ever wondered how the morning commute could be made more fun, consider getting a job in Haifa, Israel where their [subway cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cetrovo-10-carbon-star-rapid-rail) travel the sloping underground like a [mini rollercoaster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/busch-gardens).

Even before patrons climb aboard the [Carmelit Subway](http://www.tour-haifa.co.il/eng/modules/article/view.article.php/159/c10), which runs up Mt. Carmel on a considerable angle, they're entertained by the funky rainbow interiors.

A word of advice to any moms in Haifa: hold tight to your strollers!

Even better than the slanted subway is the Daft Punk theme they chose to make the [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allterrain-rollerblades) clip. I can't help think of the spoofed video for this song:
