It's incredibly common for most decently paying jobs where I live, and has been becoming more common even as the gov:t has pushed for public transit (and reliability of trains has declined). The potential costs of an employee being potentially 30+ minutes late due to transit issues are just too great.

I understand their point of view it just sucks because no doubt it's generated even more traffic exacerbating the problem

If you managed to escape car centric development, you still got to escape car centric employment.
