A visitors guide to

December 2008

What is an Oyster card?

Oyster is the easiest way to pay for single journeys on

bus, Tube, tram, DLR, London Overground and
some National Rail services in London. You can
store your Travelcard/Bus Pass and/or credit to pay
as you go on your card.

How to use your

Oyster card

Just touch your Oyster

card flat on a yellow
card reader each time
you make a journey.

Tube, DLR, London Overground and

National Rail services

Always touch in at the start of your journey and

touch out at the end, even if the gates are open.

You can store 7 Day Travelcards and Bus and Tram

Passes on your Oyster card.

A combination of both

For complete flexibility, you can store tickets and

credit on a single Oyster card.

Remember: the credit you put on Oyster never expires so

hold onto the Oyster card for your next visit to London.

How to get an Oyster card and top up

You can renew the ticket stored on your card or top

up your credit balance:

Buses

Always touch in as you board. You do not need to

touch out.

Trams

Always touch in on the yellow reader on the tram

stop platform before boarding a tram. You do not
need to touch out.

How to pay for your journeys with Oyster

Pay for your journeys as you go

You can store credit on your card to pay for single

journeys as you go. You can travel as many times as
you like in a day (from 0430 and before 0430 the
next day) and you'll never pay more than the cost of
an equivalent One Day Travelcard or One Day Bus &
Tram Pass.

Using Oyster on National Rail

If using Oyster to pay as you go for single journeys
please check with the train operator before travelling,

services on the following two routes:
Bus route 9: between Aldwych and
Royal Albert Hall (returning from Prince of
Wales Gate)
Bus route 15: between Trafalgar Square
and Tower Hill
The conductor has a hand-held device which you
