I watched the first half, and it started getting repetitive. But I don’t recall suburbs being mentioned. The way I see it, single family homes are the main reason for your american urban planning. low density makes area consumption big, and thus travel distances. With them comes traffic, and with that big roads.
As a government subsidy it’s quite different from an employer benefit.
A public transport ticket as a perk is also very different. That’s the same for all employees.the way k read the headline, it’s about paying for the time spent commuting.
Guys, it’s a free market. The boss gives the worker money, and the worker makes sure that the commute is short. It’s his responsibility. He can change employer or relocate his home. It’s not as if all people have the same commute
You americans propably see this differently, but in europe it’s very simple:
The employer need you to come to work. He doesn’t care where you live and how long your commute is.
The worker can chose an employer close to his home, or relocate and live close to the employer. Generally, if it’s a priority, the worker can live within walking distance of the employer. If other priorities overrule proximity, there’s likely still public transport to get to work.
