"que d'habitude, d'habitude" translated as "as usual, usually" - not sure how this parses out?

Question

Accepted Answer

Hi Martin,
Just to add to Maarten's excellent answer 'd'habitude' can be both 'usual' and 'usually' and we use both as translation in this sentence.
Not sure if you know the expression 'comme d'habitude' (as usual) which always reminds me of Claude François' song with the same title. Paul Anka wrote new English lyrics for Frank Sinatra and it became his signature song - 'My Way'.
 
Showing my age here but interesting little fact methinks!

Answer

Martin,

the translation is simply reflecting what the reporter has said.

This is French as it is spoken, live cross, off the cuff, on the fly - the reporter notes that the travel time is effectively ‘two-fold more than normal’, then quickly includes a description of normal, and returns to his original train of thought to complete the picture of just how severe the problem is.

There are other English translations that fit, but whether ‘… as usual, usually it is ..’ or ‘…. than normal, normally it is...’ or another suitable choice, the repetition is true to the original content.

His maths goes a bit awry too !
