| 55 | | NOTE: It is suggested that to get around London via public transportation, that having an Oyster Card is recommended. Oyster is a plastic smartcard you can use instead of paper tickets. You can put Travelcards, Bus & Tram season tickets and pay as you go credit on it. If you have a contactless credit or debit card, you can use that and do not need to buy an Oyster card. An Oyster Visitor card has an attractive design but is functionally the same as an ordinary card. The ordinary card is for sale at all Underground stations and many other places. |
| 56 | | |
| 57 | | The Transport for London Oyster App (https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments/ways-to-pay/tfl-oyster-app) is NOT an NFC payment app and not a substitute for a physical Oyster card. |
| 58 | | |
| 59 | | Oyster or contactless is the cheapest way to pay for single journeys on bus, Tube, tram, and DLR services in London. |
| 60 | | |
| 61 | | Please NOTE: All travelers are required to have their own card - although the Web site states all children under 11 travel free accompanied by an adult using a valid Visitor Oyster card or ticket. A maximum of four children under 11 can travel free with an adult who has a valid Oyster card or ticket on Tube, DLR and London Overground services. |
| 62 | | |
| 63 | | If you’re using an Oyster card, you must touch in and touch out as normal but ask a member of staff to let your group through the side gate. |
| 64 | | |
| 65 | | For metro, touch in and touch out (if you fail to touch out, you'll be charge assuming you travelled to the outermost zone). On the bus, touch in only. |
