As far as transit goes - if you live and work in Tel Aviv, you can pretty much walk wherever you need. This is a big if, as few Israelis can afford to live in Tel Aviv (we couldn't, despite earning significantly above median). The average gross wage in Israel is 9,702.60 ils per month [1] (2277.78 Euro). According to a quick check [2] this gives a net of 8,302.57 ils per month (1948.94 Euro). A small apartment in good repair in a not-terrible part of Tel Aviv can easily cost ~6000 ils per month, before utilities. Realistically if you work in Tel Aviv you either live in the suburbs, are in the top ~10% of wage earners, or are young and don't have a family to support (and live with roommates).
