To ask her to travel a bit too?

Meeting a friend on Friday evening after work. We both work in the same city but I work in the North and she's in the South East. She's asked if we can meet in the area she works in, of course she has, it's convenient for her.
I've looked and it'll take me 1h35 to get there presuming traffic is OK. Would I be unreasonable to ask her to meet me in the city centre or somewhere nearer at least?

I'm having issues with this atm with being too accommodating and being taken advantage of.

I wouldn't 'ask' as such, I'd say 'we need to meet somewhere more central'.

I notice this a lot with people and tbh I don't know how they're comfortable with it. They've no issue with the other person doing all the legwork but it wouldn't sit right with me.

I know people like this. Either don't meet them, take it in turns where to meet or meet in the middle. Do not go to where they are going unless they have come to you first.

Just reply "lol yes I can see that's very convenient for you, but not for me at all! We need to meet somewhere central for both of us. How about ........?"
