Actually no.
With a car, you get into the car outside your house, and you typically aim to park the car as close to physically possible to your destination.
With public transport, you have to walk to the nearest stop near your house, and you have to walk to your destination from the destination stop.
In addition, with trains you will have the opportunity to walk up and down stairs.
You might also walk to run errands around the local area, for example, walking to/from grocery shopping with a few bags, instead of driving to the supermarket, dumping the bags in the back of the car and only walking/carrying the limited distance between your car and the kitchen.
You might also opt to walk a slightly longer route if for example it takes you through a local park.
- brokenkebaby 4y agoWalking to/from bus stop surely doesn't sound impressive. You can practice a smallscale shopping with every sort of transport (it depends more on available shopping infrastracture, and economical reasons). And you surely can walk more by choice irrespective of transport (it depends on available pedestrian-friendly infrastructure). Choice is choice, and sitting is still sitting.
