Curious if I can put my Transit card on my hand

need a bit more information than that.

what kind of phone do you have?
what transit system is it for specifically, city/name of metro company?

can you download the App(s) NFCTOOLs & NXP TagInfo, scan your transit card with those apps and take screenshots, none of what’s on there will be PII but for your own piece of mind feel free to scrub out the UID.

if you’re using an iphone don’t be too worried if you don’t get a response from either of those apps when scanning as IOS is more restrictive on what chipsets it’s allowed to scan.

from experience i’m inclined to say probably not possible, a lot of transit companies use very secure chips to prevent things like cloning (aka the thing you’d be trying to do)
