I mean, it’s an hour’s walk for the average person.
And that’s assuming safe neighborhoods, actual sidewalks, good street lighting (if at night), pleasant weather etc.
Not to mention shoes that are actually comfortable for long walks. You’d be surprised how many people don’t have that kind of shoes, and an hour’s walk in their regular shoes would give them blisters.
Not if where you live is a car-centric hellhole with uneven, badly kept or sometimes even nonexistent sidewalks, and where cars are eager to run you over at every intersection because they have a “Why are you walking? You must be a poor so fuck you.” Mentality
2.9 miles isn’t even far. You could just walk.

Yep. I’ve walked 13 miles and I’ve taking cabs less than a mile. It’s highly dependent on multiple variables. Cost is one of those variables.
Only if fully able-bodied and there’s safe footpath present, but yeah, more of us should just walk.
People who can’t walk usually can’t drive either. Stop with this irrelevant “able body” argument.

I live in Houston. Probably the least pedestrian friendly city on earth. I would still walk over paying that.
