NW asked commuters how their transport routine would change when the South Morang station opened.
SOUTH Morang resident Kloie van Hooft drives to her Preston job as a marketing manager five days a week, a peak-hour commute that takes 90 minutes each way.
When the new station opens, she’ll have to walk only four minutes from her home, spend 20 minutes travelling to Preston station, then walk four minutes to work.
She’ll spend 80 minutes less travelling each day, and estimates she’ll spend $30-$40 a week on train fares instead of $70 on petrol.
“I’ll be able to go out more at night, and not be doing my grocery shopping at 8pm,” she said. “I’ll go visit my niece in Mernda. “
