Survey: Commuting annoys Hong Kong workers

18.02.2011
Hong Kong drivers and public transport users have identified seven deadly commuting sins that cause them the most stress, undermining their productivity and job satisfaction, said workplace solutions provider Regus Thursday.

In a new survey by the company, Hong Kong commuters rated traffic congestion or crowded trains/buses as their greatest sources of annoyance on their journeys to and from the office.

Delays and service interruptions placed second, followed by pollution and overheating, loud mobile phone conversations, rude behavior from other passengers, dangerous drivers, and bad smells from other commuters, all of which also figured as major causes of stress, Regus noted.
