The generally recommend amount of steps needed to be taken to stay healthy is 10,000 steps a day. And that doesn’t have to be done all at once either, so it need not be seen as a chore.
To make it more enjoyable, walk with a real propose, not just to burn excess calories.
Try walking as a form of transport. For all those short/local trips, leave the car in the driveway & walk there instead.
If driving to a shopping centre, don’t waste time looking for a parking spot close to the entrance & park your car further back instead.
During your lunch break at work, take the time to go fo a relaxing walk, and stay active during any coffee breaks.
On the weekend, maybe go hiking on a trail with some friends or family.
If you have a pet dog, taking them for long walks can be enjoyable for both of you.
Don’t walk the same route everyday. Keep the scenery varied to stop yourself from getting bored.
Maybe make a time when you meet up a friend & go for walk together. It’ll make it enjoyable & you’ll be less likely to wimp out.
Keep challenging yourself. Aim to gradually improve your level of walking speed, distance covered and your physical endurance.
There are a few websites focused on reaching the 10000 step goal. They are worth reading as they have ideas on how to stay motivated to maintain a regular walking routine, http://www.10000steps.org.auhttp://www.thewalkingsite.com

Edit – then it sounds like you are doing enough walking already, so you are already off to a good start.
I’m in a similar sitaution to yourself.
Though, I don’t rely on public transport that much, as I often ride a bike, when walking is not time-efficient.
And walking can be spent as quiet time for myself. Time alone to myself, away from traffic & other distractions. It’s quite relaxing & a good chance to think things over
And let’s not forget, walking in the fresh air and warm sunshine & exploring your local area by foot is alot more enjoyable than being stuck in a stuffy, boring car or bus.

only way i could make walking more enjoyable was by varying my speed. i’d walk a normal pace and then i would pick a point up ahead and just walk as fast as i could to reach that point and just keep repeating the normal/fast pace.
btw. i was a mailman and would even do this on my route. delivering mail is fairly boring so anytime i could i would vary my speed. my wife was always telling me i needed to gain weight but all that walking burned too many calories compared to the amount of calories in the food i wanted to eat.

I recommend finding something fun to do.
