Factory jobs in the CBD eh?
I know what you mean, Sydneys had long commutes for decades, but I was more talking about their SA (and my WA) experience. Public transport is about getting to the CBD. Factory area less serviced most of the time so you have to drive - or getting to the CBD is only half the journey. Then you need to bus out again to actually get where you need to work. But many industrial areas don't have many (some any) buses, so a long walk on top LOL. So you're probably driving, stuck in traffic and with todays fuel prices...
