Question Driving Times to Perth CBD

Hi All,
Can the people who do this comment.......

Monday to Friday.

To arrive at St Georges Terrace by car at 8am.

Leaving from Mandurah / Secret Harbour / Port Kennedy.

Is the return journey leaving at 5pm different?

Average estimate will be fine.


thanks

the train is not an option - its a company car that is part of the job.

OK - going up the way, I'd allow 1 1/4 hours. Coming back it may take longer because of the masses leaving the city at that time.

Have a look here for some info. I know it's different times of the day but it should give you some idea:

Give yourself an hour and a half from Mandurah at least. When I head into the city (I'm only 14k south of it) it can take me up to 45 minutes and I live right on the freeway.

Get the train as other people have mentioned and laugh at us stupid bastards sitting in the traffic
