In rush hour I find the same thing. It takes me around 40-45 minutes to ride door to door (about 20km). On the one occasion I came in by car it took about 55. Even under ideal conditions - light traffic, a run of green lights - it takes 25 minutes to drive it. When I take the train, it's a 35 minute ride, but then I've got 10 minutes walk to the office as well.
If someone breaks down on the Story Bridge - which happens remarkably often - drivers could be out there for an hour and a half I reckon. Things like that affect my travel time not at all.
