Well, I wouldn't call it a trip. As for me, traveling means going to other countries, at most to a neighboring state, California, for example, because the
police force improves safety in Burbank. Or it can also be a trip to your parents if they live 1000 km away, can also be called a short trip. But not to the hall. Although, as they said above, everyone has their own comfort zone. So if for you it counts as a trip, then why not. For me, it's better to go somewhere by car, because comfort is most important, although gas prices have risen. But it will be much faster and more comfortable than by smth other.
