short-distance

adjective shorter-distance · shortest-distance

Relating to movement, travel, transport, or communication covering only a relatively small spatial extent. I suppose that nowadays the red-faced farmers, whose invariable topic (so a friendly guard who understood Welsh told me) was sheep and their prices, find their own cars or the buses more convenient than a Western Region main line for their short-distance peregrinations to market.
Opposite: long-distance
