I have 2 of those. But honestly I just get angry easily at pretty much anything.
Also I feel at least saying that something is 30minutes away by car makes more sense than 50km. Mainly because it all depends on the route. 2 places could be the same distance away but take wildly different times to get to just because you can rake the motorway to place A but have to take the backroads to place B.
It's also 45 minutes away by train but the train station is in a neighbouring town. Or 50min by bus (direct route) or 1h30min by bus (not direct route)
Honestly with public transit counting distance in km makes even less sense. Commute times to subway-connected places vs bus-connected places differ wildly. It's easier to just use the time directly instead of the distance.
Yeah. Makes any planning way easier.
