I get compensation in taxes and as a paid sum by the company. It’s based on kilometers. The taxation thing is based on kilometers and the cheapest available option
I’ve a friend who works as a truck driver, and does get compensation for how long he has to drive to get to work. It’s also tax credits. As someone who doesn’t drive but instead would rely on public transport, I wouldn’t get compensated.
Honestly I think that’s pretty bunk, why does the public fund people having to commute by car? It’s something the company should pay the worker for because it’s technically work they’re doing for the sake of the company.
Here you gotta fill out specific criteria to be compensated (in taxes) for driving your own car. Otherwise you’ll be compensated based on the cheapest possible mode of transport (train and bus, almost always)
Making more living space available in the city where you don’t need a car would be more beneficial. it would prevent sealing land in the suburbs, prevent CO2 emissions for travel, and in general improve efficiency of public transport.

I fully agree, it’s one of the small pieces where profits get privatized but costs get socialized.
