It's true - my employer could probably be convinced to pick up cab fare. My department, unfortunately, has a limited budget - so by saving money, I'm helping to ensure that me and my colleagues are reimbursed for all of our travel expenses. When money runs out, we pay out of pocket, and are just expected to take the tax write-off. Cabs are also somewhat unreliable here: it's LAX, not NYC!
