As agricultural pr ... oduction grew, the family bought a truck to transport their goods more efficiently and quickly to the large port cities of Haifa and Jaffa. Many of the other farmers sent their produce on the truck too. Very soon, the villagers realized it was more comfortable and faster to use the vehicle to travel to neighboring cities and markets, and they were happy to pay for the ride.
