My employer pays for a monthly bus pass for me to get to work. Is the bus pass something like "compensation"?

I live in California, my company's HQ is in Texas.

Your bus pass to allow you to commute to work is considered a qualified transportation benefit and is not included in your income and is not taxable.

Please read this IRS document for more information:
