The series was one of DR’s biggest successes right from the first episode. The series aired in the period 1997-1999 over a total of 5 seasons. The series follows the fate of the small company “Krone-Taxa” and its employees in relation to work and family. The company is struggling to avoid being acquired by the large company “City-Bilen”, which is otherwise in the process of acquiring the city’s small companies. The series takes place in the late 1990s. The series reflects the issues of the time, which is often expressed through the customers the company’s drivers meet. For example, crime, prostitution, abuse and xenophobia are the themes of the series. The dramas arise in earnest when the drivers themselves are drawn into the conflicts.
