Can I ask to have my travel reimbursed for a client site in my home office city?
There is no direct public transportation available to that site (70 min) and I would likely have to uber (15 min).

Typically per IRS roles you have to deduct your home office commute from any mileage claim. With most firms there’s no expenses for local assignments however it is discretionary, it can be allowed but may also be considered a taxable perk.

For the most part, it’s not reimbursable. You can expense mileage though (if you drive).

Tricky - this sounds like one of those project leadership calls. You'd want to check your employment contract too - unlikely for your case(?) but the more local practices (audit, risk) usually have a clause that requires you have a car so that teams can assume you're billing mileage.
