Summary:

We want to get people walking more.

We think walking in and around town can be a smart choice. No timetables to keep to, no journey delays, no overcrowding, healthy, green, free, direct, access to services (and sunlight!) en route.

You might not mind shoe-horning yourself into a rush hour tube, or paying £4 for a single tube journey, or hanging around for buses, or sitting in traffic, or being fleeced by cab drivers, or depriving yourself of daylight for an hour each day. But we suspect that it can often drive you up the wall.

We don't in any way pretend that you can substitute walking for all the tube/taxi/bus/car trips you make. We do, however, want to at least help you make more informed decisions about whether you choose to walk for all, or part, of any given journey.

So that's what motivates us, and we hope will motivate you.

We're a tiny outfit but we've got big ambitions and plan to launch the service in other UK cities as soon as we can. There are also all sorts of improvements we'd love to make when resources allow.

Please contact us with your grumbles and your praise. Tell your mates about us. Bung a walkit.com link on your website. And most importantly, get walking.
