your company is quite far from my home. It would be difficult for me to commute there

[tufguy]

Jim with an Ann (HR representative of a company) on the line: Hi, I would like to come for the interview at your company.

Ann: Okay, Jim but let me tell you we don't provide cab facility. Would that be okay with you?

Jim: No, your company is quite far from my home. It would be difficult for me to commute there and back on my own daily.

Please check my sentences.

Jim with an Ann (HR representative of a company) on the line: Hi, I would like to come for the interview at your company.
Ann: Okay, Jim but let me tell you we don't provide cab facility. Would that be okay with you?
Jim: No, your company is quite far from my home. It would be difficult for me to commute there and back on my own daily.

For the first sentence, I suggest:

Jim is talking on the phone with Ann (an HR representative of a company).

Also, I suggest that you delete "daily" as it is unnecessary.

P.S. Please note that I reformatted the dialogue.

If you do want to emphasize the daily nature of the commute, end the sentence with every day. "Daily" doesn't work there.

Tufguy, if you understand the word "commute" then you know it means traveling to a specific place and back on a regular basis. For example, to work and back. (It is both a noun and a verb.)

Okay, so "commute" alone means "go somewhere and come back on regular basis".

 

[Tarheel]

I think you have the right idea.

If the company doesn't provide a "cab facility" and you can't do the commute, what's the point in going for an interview?

 

[Tarheel]

Ems, you always say what I've been thinking.

GS, I would have deleted "alone" in that sentence as it is there for no particular reason.

Tufguy, you have a way of making a thread twice as long as might be expected, because something new always comes up.

If the company doesn't provide a "cab facility" and you can't do the commute, what's the point in going for an interview?

No point, but you won't come to know until you have asked this.

I don't think I have heard of a company which provides a "cab facility" for job applicants to go for interviews.
Why would you bother to apply for a job if you are not prepared to commute to the place of work?

Not for the job interview but companies do provide transportation to and from company once you have started working with them.

Please tell me about one that does that.

This may be common in India.

 

[tufguy]

Yes, especially if you are working night shifts for example Amex, Hewitt, Genpact etc.

It's common enough for workers on construction jobs I've been on in different places in the world. The employer will run buses from various points to the job site.

I wouldn't call it "cab facility." Does the company provide transportation daily for the workers?

I am not talking about construction workers.

I am not taking about a bus. I am talking about a car for educated employees. These companies don't hire construction workers.

Is it called "cab facility" in Indian English?

In BrE, the question might be something like "Do you provide transport to and from work?" The reason we're having trouble with this is, as you now know, that is very uncommon for this to be the case in the UK and, I get the impression, in the US.

Me: Hi. I'm interested in applying for the [job title] position advertised recently. Can you tell me if you provide transport to and from the workplace?
Person on phone: No, I'm afraid we don't.
Me: OK, never mind. Thank you. Bye.

.

Yes.

 

[GoesStation]

In that case it's fine to use the phrase cab facility​ in an Indian English context.
