Not my commute (I cycle), but friends get subsidized public transport, there a scheme to buy a bicycle and pay off later (not even the full 100%), locked bicycle parking obviously, company bike for running errands. The company has two reserved parking places for cars but only one person owns a car. In previous companies we had showers for those jogging to work (or during lunch break).

The craziest was valet parking. I mean it cut the commute by a couple of minutes but the backstory was really the company didn't have enough parking and the city would've started issuing fines. Paying a valet parking company was apparently cheaper.

I know many tech companies in the Bay Area consider commute times when re-locating offices, but wonder if this is based on corporate climate goal and how much weight it has in the decision process.

We get a Go pass (free monthly pass for the Caltrain that runs from San Francisco to San Jose)
