>>>>> Yeah, I get your point about the long v. short bars… I wonder if we could reframe it like, “how much money do you SAVE on a $99/month unlimited transit pass because, your employer is subsidizing transit”?  Then no subsidy would be zero, and full subsidy would be $99. It’s a little weird because this doesn’t necessarily correspond to how much your employer is actually paying… but from the point of view of someone who would otherwise have to pay $99, it makes sense.
