The answer

The scholars have determined that the distance which permits a traveler to avail themselves of the concessions of travel is equivalent to 83 kilometers. The distance mentioned in the question is less than that, so breaking the fast is not permissible according to the majority of scholars. However, a group of scholars held the view that travel is not defined by distance, but rather it is subject to custom. So, if people consider it travel, then breaking the fast is permissible.
