Why Walking is Better Than Driving for Short Distances
In our busy lives, we often grab our bike keys even for a 1km trip to the market. But have you ever calculated the real cost of that habit? The Walk vs Drive Calculator is designed to show you exactly what you gain by choosing your feet over your wheels.
1. Save Money on Petrol
With petrol prices in India constantly fluctuating around ₹100, every drop counts. Short trips are actually the least fuel-efficient because your engine doesn't get enough time to warm up. By walking short distances (under 2-3 km), you can save a significant amount of money monthly. Use our tool to see the exact rupee amount you keep in your pocket.
2. Health Benefits (Calories Burned)
Walking is the most underrated exercise. It requires no equipment and no gym fees. A brisk 20-minute walk can burn over 100 calories, improve your heart health, and clear your mind. Instead of sitting in traffic and getting stressed, walking releases endorphins that make you feel good.
3. Environmental Impact
Every time you leave your vehicle at home, you reduce your carbon footprint. Less smoke, less noise, and a cleaner city for everyone. It’s a small step for you, but a giant leap for the environment.
