Skip the hassle of buying a physical Oyster card or paper tickets for Transport for London services. Simply tap your contactless credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet (such as Apple Pay or Google Pay) at the yellow card readers when entering and exiting the Tube, buses, and Overground network.

The system automatically calculates the cheapest fare for your journeys, capping your daily and weekly total spend. Just ensure you use the exact same card or payment device throughout your trip so all legs are linked to the same account cap.
