I think you're describing the farm subsidy system.
Want someone to work? If they're a single parent, provide child care and subsidized public transportation. If you're at the poverty level, spending %15 of your income on bus passes assuming there is even effective public transportation.
If I got rid of my car, the nearest bus stop is at least 2 miles from my house.
By car:
20.4 mi, 34 mins
In current traffic: 33 mins
By public transport:
Travel time: about 3 hours 52 mins
