Answer:

the bus took 4.5 hrs going 60 kph to get from town P to town Q

this means that the distance from town P to town Q is 270 km

side note-the car kph isn't shown and it got to town Q faster than the bus, so it must have gone at a faster speed. i didn't use the car to solve the problem, just the bus.
