I have an OV pass to use public transport for work but I get to use my car privately for free (outside of extra taxes) and not the OV pass

That just sounds like a policy revision away from being fixed. Have you asked?

Yeah, "you get to keep the car, I get unlimited travel pass, deal?" People often seem to think policies are iron clad, but they're just decisions.

Might be hard because the car is a significant upfront investment. The sunk cost is another big reason people defend their cars.

I've got a flex lease which I can end at any time so sunk cost should not be an issue here 😄
