The Commute: Stories from the Road to Work
For some, the workday begins with a short walk. For others, it kicks off much earlier—on crowded trains, busy highways, or slightly bumpy bus rides across towns and regions. These are the everyday travel tales of colleagues whose commutes are full of character.
In this series, Hapag-Lloyd employees from around the world share how they get to work—through early alarms, missed buses, surprising conversations, and small moments of calm in the middle of their morning rush. It’s about the routines, the detours, and the unexpected joys that come before the first meeting even starts.
These stories are no just about getting from A to B, but about finding connection, the rhythm in chaos, and a little fun along the way.
Hop on and ride along—with fresh eyes and a smile for the everyday journey to work.
