The article is arguing against government subsidies, not business choices. Businesses are providing a benefit, parking, that is not taxed as income. If that benefit was taxed in the same way income was, it would be more expensive for both businesses and consumers and therefore businesses and consumers might make other choices about transit (or location). Further, I would argue that the time for your commute is to a large part determined by the available infrastructure (roads vs subway lines vs busses, for example), which is something the public has chosen to allocate funds for. There are certainly more and less efficient ways to move people around, and I'm not saying that cars are better or worse, just that the efficiency is partly a choice the public has made.
