Are these three sentences all correct and do they mean the same thing? Any explanation will be very thanked and helpful.
Hello,
I would like to ask you a question.
The question is about the below 3 sentences.
"I think it will take 30 minutes more than other weekdays."
I would be so happy if you add any explanation about this, literally anything.
Thank you as always.

Thank you for the reply, AlpheccaStars.
Yes, precisely "it" means the commute.
If then, are #1 and #2 correct and do they mean the same thing?

Sincerely thank you for the answer, AlpheccaStars.
If I may ask you one more,
could I know why "I think it will take more of 30 minutes than on other weekdays." is wrong?
Of course, I feel something weird a bit in there, but that expressions feels a bit right.
We commonly say, for example, "two of the people", so I thought this form can go along with "more" and "30 minute

AlpheccaStars, thank you.
Is there any way that any "more of sth" form can be used as a comparative?
