10 Yen, both ways, spread over most days of the year. Taro's company commuting costs just rose by around 50,000 Yen. Are companies OK with that? Not to mention the revenue from non work related travel. It's a large increase.

Yes, of course, I am stupid and believe everything. So also here, that all the 10 yen go into barrier free measures instead of one yen into barrier free measures and nine yen into other budgets or private pockets. lol
