Used to travel a lot across town or into melbourne for work. used to just leave early and get there early, sit down and have a coffee and read the paper.
much better then trying to get there with 2 minutes to spare.
no stress that way.
or just used to start early to finish early.
This is exactly what I noticed when I lived in Melbourne.
Pre-Eastlink (12 years ago) it would take me nearly 2 hours to get from Dandenong to Thomastown, but if I left 1 hour earlier i'd get there in about 40 minutes.
The problem with this is I don't really like hanging out at work for an extra hour + before starting, especially when there is stuff all to do. The other option is to be late.
I'm not sure if it got better or worse since then.
Also remember that Melbourne is lucky enough to have a carpark for a freeway during peak traffic.
