I'm familiar with the expression n-minute walk to describe something at a 10-minute distance by foot, but I was stuck when I tried to use this expression with other kinds of transportation. For example, if I want to express something apart by 10-minute distance by bus, how can I express that in a similar way to n-minute walk?

You can say:

a ten-mile trip by bus

a ten-mile drive by car

a thousand-mile flight by plane

etc. The travel descriptor changes depending on the mode of transportation.

    It could also be a ten minute bus ride.

    This can also describe the time as in the OP. For example, six-hour flight. Also, three-day cruise by ship.
