Oyster Cards

[Anon_F]

Thinking of getting one for the small amount of travel i do in London.
But how does the card know if your going 1 stop or 10?
As going on the Croydon Tram they dont have ticket collectors??

I'm in a similar position. I don't use public transport that often but friends tell me an Oyster card is the business.

But I just don't understand how it works

The tram starts at Beckenham, right opposite where my one time schoolfriend and ex-brother-in-law has a property.

He don't live there and it has gold taps.

He always did have more money than sense. And no taste

Oops, off topic

Ticket collectors will be rare my old mucker.

The answer to your question is a swiping machine. Touch in touch out
that's how they will work out your journey pattern.

If you don't swipe out they will charge you a maximum fare. I never used to swipe out but back then they didn't charge the full fare for this.

Public transport in London is a rip off, but the Oyster card is the cheapest way to go.
