An hour spent commuting is 1/16th of your daily life, and that hour is by far the biggest risk to your life every day. You should be getting triple pay to ameliorate the hazard risk it represents.

It’s because you opened with “Accepting an onsite job […] places the responsibility on you to be able to commute there”, as if people are choosing this when there are other options. This “responsibility” is foisted onto people by management that demands it, and a society that demands most people labor or die. Saying “you accepted this under duress, now accept the consequences” is crap.
The rest of your point about reliable transportation and fair wages is fine.
