Hey? What’s this? A bright, cartoon ticket glinting in my rush hour carriage. Although my head is wedged under a fellow passenger’s armpit, I can just about make out blue skies, green trees, white clouds, is that a yellow sun?..’
It’s true. There’s a whole world of green/blue/brown stuff out there. It costs nothing. It gives you energy. And you can discover fantastic things, under your own steam, and off-piste.
Now that it’s Spring we wanted to share the gift of strolling so we created some walking tickets and headed into to the heaviest gridlocks and the scrummiest rush hours to distribute them. Trains, undergrounds and bus stops, zebra crossings, telephones and corner shops; on park benches and on Mercedes Benz’s, somehow London got a right liberal scattering.
‘Hello’, (says the back) ‘If I hadn’t walked today, I never would have…’ ‘Seen the moored boats with gardens on their roofs’/ ‘Found the Poetry Café on Betterton Road’/ ‘Bumped into Michael’/‘Got blisters’. Tell us why it’s good to walk on our message board. Or download your own walking tickets and get converting commuters…
