I just got a -4% “raise”, any advice?

I’m moving to a new team at work, which comes with a 10% raise. The catch however, is that this new team is in another office which is further away and requires me to get a train ticket, parking at the station, and a bus pass. If I’m abiding by my office’s 3-days-in-per-week guidelines, I will be spending more than I am gaining from this raise. I currently don’t make enough to move out of my parents’ house, and this is only going to slow things down in that regard. I want to talk to my boss/ HR about this, does anyone have any advice as to what I should do? I’m working in the UK by the way, if that makes any difference.
