Transport check: the car penalized for going to work

Info of the day: the 200 € / year of "work-sleep" transport aid will only be optional and at the choice of the business owner.

On the other hand, companies will be obliged to take 50% in their charge in the case of the use of public transport.

In the end it can come back to the company more for public transport than for the car. 40 € monthly subscription = 480 € per year = 240 € payable by the company.

The unions will yell again ... the car is "my freedom" ...

Work 1 week a month just to pay for his car and therefore "his" freedom is a funny notion ...

Hello,
It depends on the case, for example, I had moved to live 60 meters from my job, it was good for 10 years, then my box moved 10Km from my house, then another 1 km further.

To go there by public transport, it is misery, 1H3 / 4 to go and almost 2H to return.
By car, 1/4 hour outward and 3/4 hour return.
There is no photo, as long as I have the means, I will not use totally unsuitable and ridiculous public transport.
On the other hand, I changed my car for a "small" 1000CC.

This is not because we always said that it is impossible that we should not try :)

Hello

Bad luck for you Bibiphoque when the company moves. In my company and those around there is a consultation to see if a bus pickup or bus + train pickup
(sncf) is achievable. I find it a good initiative.
But mentalities are far from having changed despite the price of fuel.
