Benefits for Employees

Employees who ride the bus to and from work each day enjoy not having to hassle with traffic or parking. They have a chance to read the paper and relax on the way to work, resulting in less stress. They save money by not spending it on typical car expenses like parking and gas. And, the portion the employee pays for the bus pass can be tax-free.

Employees save by not driving

There are many benefits to riding public transportation to work, including not having to worry about traffic hassles or trying to find affordable parking. There are also great financial savings. Employees can save even more if they pay for their transportation costs with pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions.

Employees might even save on their insurance costs

By riding the bus more and driving less, people can also save on their automobile insurance costs. The Texas legislature recently passed a measure that allows drivers the option of paying for their car insurance by the mile rather than by the calendar. Instead of paying insurance for a certain amount of months, drivers can now insure their automobile for a certain number of miles. They can then save on insurance costs by simply driving less, which is easy to do when they ride the bus. Ask your insurance provider about insurance by the mile.
