Firstly: Whoever travels solely to break their fast is forbidden from both traveling and breaking fast, because it is a means to something forbidden. However, if one has a legitimate purpose for traveling, other than breaking fast, such as attending an exam, and takes the longer route, then it is permissible for them to break their fast.
Secondly: The travel distance that permits the concessions of travel is measured from the end of the urban area of your city to the beginning of the urban area of your destination, and it is estimated to be approximately 80 kilometers.
