Deductions & credits
From home to first location, and last location back home are considered non deductible commuting expenses.
However, all traveling "in between" is deductible.
Yes, your bus fare and Uber receipts used exclusively for business travel are good enough.
Your traveling expenses are an employee business expense.
To deduct employee business expenses, you must have enough itemized deductions (ie. Medical, mortgage interest, property taxes, charitable giving, ect) to exceed your Standard Deduction. If you itemize, your deduction is limited to the extent that it exceeds 2% of your Adjusted Gross Income.
So, you may not derive a tax benefit for this deduction.
