I live in a city and, like most cities, it’s pretty much a grid. My daily destination is the exact opposite location of where I live. I was interested in knowing which method of walking will save me the most time, or if it matters at all?

As far as down and across versus over up over up – exactly the same distance assuming a perfect grid.
Not accounting for any time you’re NOT walking (Such as waiting at a street corner which may or may not be predictable), whatever gives you the shortest distance. e.g. the closest to a straight line as is possible is fastest. So if there’s for example, a park you can cut through diagonally that will save you time. Given a perfect grid with none of these opportunities – doesn’t matter.
