Where do they cover your commuting costs? I've never heard of that.

Nope, very rarely do you see them cover it at all. That's why we hate our 1+ hour drive commutes.

Where do employers cover the cost of sommuting?

Pretty rarely, far as I know. I've seen some that cover public transit costs at least. It's more common for them to only reimburse costs for travel during work hours or for business related trips.

Lmao.

Many do: I believe there is a tax incentive for them. I’ve only had it while working downtown, and in a white collar job. So not where you’d usually drive to work and not for hourly pay.

Given that there are very few required benefits, it can be fairly regressive. You don’t get help with transit unless you’re an aid enough. You don’t get better health coverage unless you’re paid enough.

Not required. SF does have an ordinance to cover some costs depending on the number of employees. But its not some nationwide law.

If you're a fancy tech bro in SF all your costs are covered, health/dental/vision/life insurance, commuting stipend or govt subsidized account you get to put pre-tax money in and the company might match, matching contributions for your retirement 401K. The techbro class doesn't care about the cost of BART, many of them take an UBER for 3-4x the BART faire and not bat and eye at the bill (or use the company UBER account for free). If you're just some random minimum wage worker, you'd be lucky to live within an hour or two commute of SF and afford housing.

Not in Canada either

They do. You have to apply for it, and there's a ceiling per month.
