Perhaps ask the company to reimburse you for the transit costs rather than providing the car? I'm sure they would love to save the money, and let you continue to save the money the car was saving you.
I have an OV pass to use public transport for work but I get to use my car privately for free (outside of extra taxes) and not the OV pass
That just sounds like a policy revision away from being fixed. Have you asked?
Yeah, "you get to keep the car, I get unlimited travel pass, deal?" People often seem to think policies are iron clad, but they're just decisions.
Might be hard because the car is a significant upfront investment. The sunk cost is another big reason people defend their cars.
I've got a flex lease which I can end at any time so sunk cost should not be an issue here 😄
