From Jerusalem to Haifa you can take a direct bus no. 940, cost 40 shekels. Now you have to take another bus to the kirya you want. If the kiria you want has a train station, and the station is near where you want to go, you can take a bus to Tel Aviv (no. 480) and from there take the train that goes to that kiria. The all bus option looks better to me, as the bus from Haifa to that kiria will bring you to where you want to be.

What is a kirya?

If you arrive to Haifa by bus from Jerusalem, you will be coming in to the South Bus station (Hof-ha-Carmel). Buses to Qrayot leave from the North Bus Station (Lev-ha-Mifratz) - so you'll first need to take a bus to get there - they are numerous, and the journey should take about 30 minutes.

If you take a train, you can either go directly to Qrayot (Qiriat Haim and Qiriat Motzkin have their own train stations, but all the qrayot are close by and a cab should be inexpensive) or you can leave the train at Lev-ha-Mifratz station and take a bus from there.

1. KIRYA - singular for KRAYOT.

2. In my opinion Shoshi's suggestion is the best. Take the direct bus to Haifa's central bus station, and from there a bus to the KIRYA you want (if I am not mistaken there are 5 KRAYOT - Kiriyat Chaim, Kiryat Mozkin, Kiryat Ata, Kiryat Bialik and Kiryat Yam).

taking a taxi or renting a car are more convenient options but also more expensive.

Daphne - kiria mean roughly "town". It is used in the bible. As the former poster explained thete are 5 small towns north of Haifa called "kiria someting".
