Why use - present simple if there is a time marker, at the moment?
?
A:
"at the moment" does not literally mean "right now" here. it means "in the present situation".
The person is not walking right now, while they are speaking. It means that for the last few months or so (since their car broke down, maybe), they've been walking to get around, instead of driving.
So they use present simple because they are in the habit of walking, in their present situation.
