Similar issue in Melbourne too, we’re still dealing with the outdated hub and spoke public transport map - but at least they’re working on that with the Suburban Railway Loop project.
My commute to work is 35 minutes without traffic, but normally blows out to 60-75 minutes in peak hour.
My only options for PT are 80-90 minutes and involve either two trains, a train and a bus, or a train and a tram… and that’s including the ~30 minutes of walking each way to and from the train station each way!

i used an escooter in Qld for the walk bit when i lived there but 50c PT fares as well
But yeah we wanted walkable city city living and made a deliberate choice on where to live based on that; 5 min bus to tram or 10min escoot to the train and walk to shooping centre across road.
