Walks to the street, then takes a bus? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strides

'walks' is the definition.
(striding is a kind of walking)

'the street then takes a bus?' is the wordplay.
'the street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'then' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'takes a bus?' becomes 'rides' (I've seen this in another clue).
'st'+'rides'='STRIDES'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for strides that I've seen before include "Daks" , "Takes great steps" , "Trousers (Australian)" , "Trousers; long steps" , "Paces -- trousers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
