I am a private tutor and I meet my students at their homes, public libraries or local cafés, I usually commute by bus or metro.

Yes your metro card expense is deductible since you are self-employed and that is your mode of transportation to meet your clients. The expense would be listed under transportation.

Another expert answered a similar question differently here. If I understand this explanation correctly, if you have to have a work place where you conduct your business regularly, and if you travel to meet a client, that may be deductible.

If your home is your principal place of business you can deduct the metro expenses for transportation between your home and other regular or temporary work locations to meet your clients.
