At the moment it takes me around 15-20 mins. However next year it may take up to 2 hours.

Depends whether train/bus is coming. Generally one way trip is max 1hr, if i m on a winning streak then it can take as short as 30 min.

I would say approximately 1 hour and 12 minutes if walking, but this is subject to change depending on traffic density and traffic light timing.

If i get a good run I think I could drive in maybe 10 minutes, possibly less if not counting "find parking space" time.

From leaving the door to walking into the room at uni, around 50 minutes to an hour.

It used to take me 1.5- 2 hours.


Not so much nowadays though, around 20-30 mins.

Traditionally it is 13 years of primary and secondary education, but there are alternate entry schemes that could get you in a lot quicker.

50 minutes if the traffic lights are cooperative, the train comes right as I get dropped off, the train is super awesome and it's not in peak hour, and there's no slow walkers blocking me from Redfern to uni.

However, that has never happened all in one go, so an hour.

Longest commute I know of is someone who lives in Kincumber on Central Coast--half an hour drive to Gosford station, 1.5 hour train ride to Redfern, 15 minute walk to uni. That's pretty bad.

About 45 minutes, usually.

15 minute drive to the station, 20 minute train journey, then 10 minute bus.
(That includes waiting time and hunting for a carpark at the train station).
