Perhaps you’ve already heard of the famous London Tube? And who hasn’t seen in films, tv shows, and photos the iconic double decker bus? As popular as they are among Londoners, getting to know the basics on how to navigate the systems is very important to travellers—especially for first timers in the city!

How to use the Oyster Card
The Oyster Card is the most popular form of electronic ticket used in public transport in London. This card is being strongly promoted by the TFL to dissuade people from purchasing single journey paper tickets which are not only almost double in price but are not eco-friendly either. Our London Transport Guide will teach you all the basics on using the Oyster Card and answer all of your questions like where to get it, how much it costs, and how to use it!
