There are other ways too, like requiring employees to pay for parking... Housing is less expensive further away from the center of urban areas, but transportation is much less developed.

There are other ways too, like requiring employees to pay for parking... Unless you're talking about requiring employees to pay for parking which they're not using, this is not wage theft. To the contrary, the inequity would be if free parking was provided to workers who drove to work but no similar subsidy was provided to those who took public transit. (In Canada, free employee parking is in most cases a taxable benefit.)

  >the inequity would be if free parking was provided to workers who drove to work but no similar subsidy was provided to those who took public transit. Really? Does it work the other way too? My employer will reimburse a small amount of public transit costs, but the people that drive get no similar benefit.

    Yes, if employers pay for transit passes that counts as a taxable benefit too.

    Do they get free storage for their cars during the workday?

Land is expensive. Why should those of us who choose not to drive subsidize those who do?
