  @chu_se @bait0211 oo nga magkalapit lang tayo! hehe! @prcand ok naman, kasi yung sneydes road saka princes freeway interchange partially completed na, so nagagamit na siya, me ibang part na tinatapos pa pero malaking tulong din, 10-20 minutes extra ma-save mo travel time since opening so mas lalong mag-ease ang traffic pag fully completed na. As per train naman, from point cook to CBD 30-45 minutes travel time.
