My work offers this but I’m a bit embarrassed to ask HR, is this is just pre tax money on a card for transit? Can I buy a metro card or just use the card they give me?

You’re ultimately going to have to ask HR… but:
It may be a system where you can sign up to buy your monthly train ticket through their system. It will be paid for with pre-tax dollars – which means the money you’re paying for your commuting expenses doesn’t count as taxable income.
It’s been a while since I had that benefit, but when I did, I got my monthly commuter rail ticket electronically.
I guess it’s possible that they give you a card for transit sort of like a flex-spending account for health insurance.
