"COMPARED TO" the right conjunction????

How would you say this sentence?

1 It takes me 5 minutes to get to "JAVEL" subway station from my house and it takes me an extra minute to get to "ST CHARLES" station compared to "JAVEL" station. (compared to the 5 minutes, meaning one minute on top of the 5 minutes to get to "JAVEL")

2 The stations are closer together/further apart on this line than on that line/compared to that metro line.

Thank you

  • It takes me five minutes to get to Javel Station from my house, and an extra minute to get to St.
  • Charles (or the St.
  • Charles Station).
  • ) I'm a bit confused by what you are asking in the second question, but, depending on if the 2 stations are closer together, or farther (not further) apart, one would say: The two stations are closer together on the X line (or on this line) than on the Metro line.
  • The two stations are farther apart on the Y line (or on this line) than on the Metro line.
