Hello, Mr. Freeman. Just sit back and enjoy the tram ride. You've got a long day ahead of you, and this is probably the only chance you'll get to relax. Look around the various locales, and pay attention to the voice on the loudspeaker. You never know what might come in handy later. I'm here to help you through your day. It's going to be rough. I'll assume you're planning a normally difficult workday, and also that you'll do some things on your own, such as search boxes in the workplace. There are plenty of supplies in Black Mesa, but sometimes you have to search for them.

Once you arrive at your destination, wait for the security guard to open the tram door. Follow him to the security door, and he'll let you in.
