Oyster Cards for London Visitors
I have a feeling that London doesn’t do enough to publicise how a visitor to London gets an Oyster card and what the terms are. I was asked this morning by a couple of Austrian ladies and they seemed at a bit of a loss. So I asked a helpful London Underground lady at a barrier and she gave me the full rules, which include.
- To get an Oystercard you need to put up a refundable £5 deposit in addition to how much credit you want.
- You can top up an Oystercard using a credit card at machines.
- If you no longer want your Oystercard when you leave the UK, you can cash it in at certain places. Or even give it to charity!
But the rules aren’t as clear as they might be and I think they ought to be displayed in more places in a simplified form.
Where’s the Oyster Information?
The picture shows the typical information on a bus, but there’s nothing about Oyster.
It would appear though that most stations have a mchine that dispenses an Oyster card.
