At least riding the bus is considered "luxury" now. Death of the personal automobile considered imminent!

A free, personal bus that delivers you to the front door of your place of work? That's not quite "public transportation."

Calling it "free" is somewhat misleading; it's effectively a part of the salary. The only difference is that most companies pay for the transportation of their workers in cash, instead of in kind.

If it's not taxed - then it's not part of their salary (though the IRS is working on that).
