Erm... sounds like they fail to understand concepts like time and space.  Have you tried to explain to them?

What's wrong with that if driving close to their place of work means braving a busy town centre, maybe struggling to find a parking spot and then paying several quid for a days parking?  I know a couple of people who used to do a similar thing, saved them time and money.

It was far more than a mile from the P&R into town.  All I know is, relative to them driving the car into town and parking for the day, it was around a third of the cost, saved them sitting in stop-start traffic, and often got them into work quicker because of the bus lanes.
