My motivation is simple: “If I walk to where I’m going, I’ll save myself a subway token”. (Yes, a token. Toronto keeps claiming to be a world-class city, but its transit system is still stuck in 1954.) I have to get somewhere often enough that I end up going for walkies several times a week.
Walking both ways can be a bit much if it’s 2.5 miles each way. So I spend a token to get myself there, then take my time walking home. If I’m buying a lot of stuff that I have to carry, I’ll walk to my destination, and take transit home. (Unless the weather’s really hot or really cold or really crappy. Then I’ll take transit and/or cabs.)
And when there’s a transit strike, I feel oh-so-smug and superior as I breeze past all the suits who find it so hard to walk a few blocks to get to where they’re going.
On top of all that, I now have GREAT legs!
