Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

parking at work

does an employer have the right to tell you you have to park several blocks away and be bused to the job site because the employer promised the school they are working for they would bus thier employes to the site (which is a school) so the workers didn't take up a lot of parking the only thing is the parking is on city streets and the bus the employer has, only picks up 1st thing in the morning and after work no bus at lunch time. the employees decided to park in a supermarket parking lot which is closer so they can go to lunch in thier cars the employer made them drive back to the designated parking and had no way to get lunch is this legal thank you
