Across the bridge
At 7.50 in the morning, Jorgen Person starts work in his office in Copenhagen, but
he isnt Danish and he doesnt live in Denmark. He lives in Sweden and every day
he travels from his home in one country to his office in another. How long does
the journey take? It takes one and a half hours, from door to door, says Jorgen.
He leaves home at 6.20, takes the bus to Malmo train station, and gets the train at
6.49. The train travels to Copenhagen via the bridge that links Sweden and
Denmark. From the station he gets a bus to his office. Does he find the journey
stressful?
