I do that here in New Zealand for driving. It doesn't really mean much to say that a town is 200 km away. That 200 km could take anywhere from 2 hours to 3.5 h

That 200 km could take anywhere from 2 hours to 3.5 hours to drive to, depending on the road and terrain. The distance isn't actually very relevant.
The tourist guides here specifically mention this, that don't plan your travel by distance, because 100 km in one place is not 100 km in another. In the old road maps, they'd have a travel time matrix, rather than distance (like this [0] except with times)
