Unintentional punnage
The hospital where I work is split over two sites, with a regular link bus service between them.

This used to be free, but since a move of nearly all departments to one site, and accompanying reorganisation of the car parking, there is now a charge of £1 each way.

On the staff forum on the intranet I saw this posted the other day:

"Why do we have to pay £1 to use the hopper bus, I don't think it's fare"

Reclaim it as a business travel expense.
If everyone does this then surely finance will get the message, they will get sick of having to process the claims.

Actually, I've missed out a vital piece of information...
It's still free if you're travelling across sites; you only have to pay if you're using it to get to or from work.

That sounds very reasonable.
Fare in fact.

I quite agree! :)
