The answer

What is considered for travel is the town, not the province. A traveler is allowed the concession of shortening prayers as soon as he leaves the houses of his town. He is permitted to shorten prayers even if he takes a longer route, if there are two routes available to him. As for breaking the fast during travel, it is permissible by consensus whenever the journey meets the conditions that allow for concessions, even if the traveler is able to fast and it does not cause him hardship. The scholarly disagreement is regarding what is better: fasting or breaking the fast.
