Ms Muller, 37, commutes three days a week from Thirroul to the Sydney CBD for her business analyst job in a bank, travelling about an hour and 45 minutes each way. That’s about six hours a week she doesn’t get to spend with her kids.
“By the time I get home I get an hour to spend with the kids then they’re going to bed,” she said.
She said the Government should invest in existing rail infrastructure rather than extending the F6 in Sydney.

“We should be looking at what we’ve got and improving on that.”
