For example, those who live or work in the Montefiore neighborhood of the city will be able to use the bike path or the boardwalk that has been renovated on Yehudit Boulevard to reach the "Yehudit" light rail station located on Derech Menachem Begin in Tel Aviv. Whoever planned the surroundings of the stations in Tel Aviv took these considerations into account. On the other hand, public transport involves waiting around, crossing roads, walking, hot sun - and all of these influence our decision whether to use it or prefer other options". She added, "We are very comfortable in a car because it has air conditioning, maybe even a heated seat in the winter, candies in the glove compartment, music and the illusion of independence. "Public transport is used first and foremost by pedestrians but planners don't seem to have taken this into account," says architect Irit Solsi of the Irit & Dror architectural firm. It will be far more difficult to implement the required changes, once the line is running and the situation on the ground has been changed. While Tel Aviv has adapted the public spaces around the stations as required, the other cities along Red Line only now understand the extent of the change that will be needed to adapt the station areas to the transformation once the line starts operating. The situation is similar in Bat Yam where the stations are mostly surrounded by fences, and the public space around them is not adapted to the throngs of people expected to pass through the area. It remains mainly a transport artery without any inviting public space for pedestrians.
For example, the Jabotinsky Street section from Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak to Petah Tikva has not yet been adapted to the change.
