Why should employers be responsible for the transit habits of their employees? Does this not also increase the cost of employment, thereby decreasing the employee's income?
From what I can see, this would be a hidden tax on the employee, which violates the principle that democracy requires maximum possible transparency.
In a world where we could measure everything for free we would charge employees directly for the externalities of their commute (e.g. the road space they consume). Since this is not practical we make the best approximations we can.
