“Walk my way” in the following

Question

Can I use "walk my way" in the following situation:

I had an argument with a bus driver about the elections, and she got really angry. So I had to get off the bus and walk my way.

RegDwight is right! However "walk my way" attracts the reader's attention to this phrase, even if that is a deviation from the norm: 'walk' would normally be intransitive, so it would be better to say "make my way"!
Also "So I had to" is telling little. Were you told to get off or thrown off, or did you surmise that it's best to get off?

You'll want to say one of:

So I had to get off the bus and walk.

Or

So I had to get off the bus and make my own way home/to work/etc.

Generally I would either "go my way" or "go my own way", but not "walk my way" unless I "walked my way there".

Perhaps what is intended is walk away?
