Sydney's new $5bn airport has one big problem: Getting there is toughClose

Western Sydney International (WSI), the city's first commercial 24-hour airport, opened for flights on Sunday.

It's been built to serve Western Sydney, but for some residents, living close by won't necessarily mean a faster commute.

A metro is being built but has faced delays and won't be complete for at least another 12 months.

The BBC's Lana Lam asked Sydney residents: how long will it take you to get to WSI?
