Is that amount of time common to walk in places in the world where cars don’t dictate the layout of the community?

Im going to be making this walk tomorrow, no worries, I’m just curious if its normal in other places. Maps says its 1hour15minues for 2.3miles or 3.7Km.

    If it’s free time and I don’t have any appointments yes. If I have to be there regularly and as appointmemt, I would use public transport on the way there and walk the way back.

      These answers are great. I thought so. Folks mentioned bikes. I didn’t think about the bike, there isn’t biking infrastructure in place, and mines been broke in the shed for years. But yeah that would probably be the best way in my situation, if I didn’t have to cross like 5 death traps to use it. The public transport comments make me laugh. I wish.

        Don’t forget that scooters are also popular these days, both electric and non-electric. They need less infrastructure and are cheaper than bikes, but please wear a fucking helmet. Roller blades depending on the surface or even Skateboarding can also be used to cut the time/effort.
