That's not true. The IRS specifies in the Fringe Benefit section (Pub 15-B) in multiple places that commuter benefits must be used only between your place of residence and your place of work. Use for non-commute purposes is not eligible for pre-tax treatment.

Highly unlikely the IRS will ever investigate an individual for the minimal difference it might make though.
