Hi Jake,
I have to say this sounds like an excellent offer to me. R2000 / month is
not that much to pay for transport. I mean, its money, obviously, but my
transport is around R1000 a month anyway. And lots of other people pay a lot
more - e.g. if they drive to pta from jhb or whatever.
It also sounds as though this might well be an arrangement that could be
lasting and fairly reliable, assuming that it works for you. And I agree
about it being a confidence builder for yr employer. ...smile.
Anyway, that's my 2c.
