428. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Sins are expiated by well-performed ablution despite difficulties, increasing the number of steps one takes towards the mosque, (and waiting for the next prayer after prayer)." (Hasan)
428 - حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَفَّارَاتُ الْخَطَايَا، إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ، وَإِعْمَالُ الْأَقْدَامِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ، وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ»

The words 'Increasing the number of steps one takes towards the mosque' seem to suggest that it is more meritorious and rewarding if one walks his way to the mosque than to ride a conveyance. And Allāh knows best.
