How would you compensate employees for commuting to work?

Suppose there are two employees: Alice and Bob, who do the same job at the same factory. Alice has a 10 minute (20RT) commute, Bob commutes 35 minutes(70RT).
If you're the owner of the factory, would you compensate them for their commutes? How would you do it?

absolutely, people's workdays should start when they begin their commute. I don't know off the top of my head, but some companies and government jobs already comp people for their travel expenses, just extend that to commutes.
i used to work for Amazon. in the morning, I'd drive to a parking lot a few miles from the warehouse. then I'd get on a shuttle bus which would drop me off at the warehouse. (not enough parking at the warehouse)
Jeffy B paid me for the shuttle ride to and from the warehouse AND paid the shuttle driver.
how does that work? do you clock in/out while on the shuttle or something?
yes, I'd clock in and out on the bus. Know where a municipal bus collects fare near the driver? they had a shift clock there to punch in and out.
