I'm in an uber running late for an appointment and anxious like hell, the driver isn't taking the route I'd normally take (or suggested by uber itself) - but bloody hell, he has amazing luck - got a right turn at the bloody Princess St roundabout within a minute AND hit Station St Fairfield just as the train gates were lifting so crossed it instantly. This could've easily taken an extra 10 minutes...

I'd ask him what app he's using or it's from his own experience.

I dont think it's experience, it's just plain black magic if you manage to cross Station St in one go at most times of the day...
