Did your labours get quicker?

I'm pregnant with no.3 due in 6 weeks. My first labour was induced, epidural, forceps and was long. 2nd was over in 90mins from start to finish. (And I didn't make it to the hospital in time)
Bit paranoid this time will be quicker than last time. I'm about 30mins from the hospital and that's with no traffic issues. Should I have to travel at rush hour, easily add another 30mins to that.

I know no two labours are the same, but I'm under the impression that generally speaking, they do get quicker with each one. How true is this?

Thanks

Indication?? Confused

I meant induction

From first painful Contraction-
Number one = 4.5 hours
Number two= 2 hours

Peyia I can see the advantages to the induction. I'm not yet 100% sure I definitely want it tho. I've to go back to see them on 23rd may about it, so I'll see then. Also plan to find out how they will do it. With my first induction I had a pessary and then the drip, don't think I'd want that drip again.
It's hard to figure out what's the best option
