There are provisions in the policy to provide different pricing, where warranted, for shift workers. As for lugging kit on the bus: been there, done that. (Or buy a buddy a beer and carpool or... many ways around such problems)
And yes, driving to work is often a choice. In Shilo, Wainwright or Cold Lake? No. In a major urban centre? Yes. And note that in those remote areas, there is no fee for parking...
Life is about making choices. If you choose to have a large house on a big piece of property far outside town, then that's a choice you made. If that choice means you have to drive to work instead of taking a bus or subway (in an urban area where that's an option) - that was your choice as well.
On to "The government pays for that" comment. How wonderful. Government gets its money from where, exactly? (Hint: Look at your T4) Maybe the people who benefit from it (the folks who drive in and park on the lot) should pay for it?
