Save 40-50% in Travel Time

The MM2 has the potential to greatly reduce travel time, particularly between the outer suburbs and inner Melbourne.

Mernda

This isochrone graphic shows the distance one can travel by road over 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes during rush hour.

During peak hours, it would take approximately a full hour to drive into the CBD.

Based on our preliminary prediction that factors in train speed, track length, number of stations and dwell times, the MM2 is predicted to arrive at the CBD from Mernda in approximately 35 minutes, which is about 25 minutes saved.

Wyndham Vale

This isochrone graphic shows the distance one can travel by road over 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes.

During peak hours, it would take about 50 minutes to reach the CBD.

Based on our preliminary prediction that factors in train speed, track length, number of stations and dwell times, the MM2 is predicted to arrive at the CBD from Wyndham Vale in approximately 26 minutes, which is again about 25 minutes saved.

Additionally, it is also important to remember that time spent on the train could be used to do other things as well, whether that may be reading, resting or even work unlike when driving.
