Calendar Travel time defaults to walking

Calendar calculates my travel time based on walking, rather than driving. How do I fix this?

Calendar start location isn’t always available Sometimes when I set an event in Calendar to an address, the software offers me my start location and automatically calculates travel time to my destination. This is helpful because it sets the alert to that much time plus what I select before departure. Sometimes I only get offered fixed travel times, like 15, 30 minutes, or 1 hour to choose. This happens even though the Maps app routes me and gives me a fixed travel time to the same address. Is there something I can set or do to always get the automatic travel time from my start location?

Travel Time Missing from iPhone Calendar Hi all, I know there was another thread on this but it didn't resolve it for me, so I'm going to see if I can get more ideas. When I add an appointment in Calendar on my iPhone, I don't have the option of adding travel time. It's just simply not there. I have ensured that my location services are on for both maps and calendar, and am running the most current software, iOS 15.5. I don't have All Day accidentally turned on, and am familiar with using it as I always do when I set up an appt on my Mac. When I go into calendar settings, I can see that under the Default Alert Times, I do have "Time to leave" set on, but I want to be able to add the travel time manually. In the maps settings, I have my preferred mode of transit as driving. I am baffled why I don't have this option available in the Calendar app.
