	Since this isn't a totalitarian state, you can't require citizens 
	to car-pool, walk, etc., but you can probably regulate employers 
	so as to remove the obstacles to car-pooling, cycle-commuting, etc.   
	----------

    --But although it's not a totalitarian state, you CAN, I suppose, require
citizens (yes, employers are citizens too) to build expensive equipment
they don't want to build for employees who might use the showers because they
might then ride bicycles to work and might then reduce the load on the traffic
system?  That's three "might"s for one definite tangible cost to the business.
And, speaking of "might"s, if we were talking about a store instead of a 
software company, how about explaining what happens when a company can't
afford showers and everything else like it that they will be required to
build, and "might" then go out of business?
	Well, then I guess THEIR clientele won't be adding to the traffic
congestion...
