    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.

      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.
