Is it a condition for utilizing the dispensations of travel that the journey be on foot or on a mount?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it a condition for a traveler to be permitted to break his fast during Ramadan that his journey be on foot or on a mount?

Answer:
This applies to travel in general; Allah did not restrict it to a specific means. If he travels on foot, on a camel, on a plane, or in a car, and the distance is eighty kilometers or more, then he may break his fast in Ramadan. Yes.
