Probably the way tax exempt American employee healthcare does, which to sum up is a disaster.

Japan currently has tax exempt commuting allowance.

Am not familiar with Japan but the US exempts commuting reimbursements.

In Japan, the commuting allowance allows a full pre-tax writeoff of up to ¥100,000 a month, which before the start of Japanese inflation was about $1000 a month, so it is significantly more generous. https://globalvoices.org/2014/11/05/are-employee-transportat...
