Double check your policies. I get a (highly subsidized) buss pass, but I'm only supposed to use it for travel to and from work.

It's $15/month, and I do work remote primarily. But if I bus in to the office twice, it has paid for itself (more so if I factor in parking and toll bridges!)

thanks! so far I looked at the policies and there's no specific wording on it had to be work-related travel. as long as it's used towards transit like busses/trains, it's allowed. I'm interpreting this as "hey remote workers, you technically can work from anywhere so we're not going to be on your ass about where you're using your transit pass as long as you're using the benefits to purchase transit passes, then you're good."

the only work-specific wording i see is parking, which is a separate commuter benefit where the parking has to be near a workplace, which I'm interpreting as near any coworking spots as we don't have an office anymore.
