    Thank you very much for your video. Very well done. Got a question: I will be in London for a 8 days trip. Regarding capping, on a specific day, at different moment of the day, I will use 5 route in Tube and 1 route in bus, in zone 1-2. Based on CityMappers, the total will be 5x2,7 + 1x1,75 = 15,25. I'm right to say that if will be capped to 8,50 for this specific day? Thanks from Montréal!!

      Hello my Canadian friend, the total cost would be £10.25 per day, it would be £8.50 per day London Underground cap (it caps at 3 journeys). And £1.75 for your bus ride. I hope that helps.

      Hi Vadim, all 7 day travel cards are unlimited journeys for the chosen zones for the whole week. This also includes travel on London buses, you just touch in and out as normal.

      Go to the TFL website, login (make an account if you haven’t got one), sign in, click journey history, choose the period of journeys and then download a copy of the receipts.

    Hi. What is the difference between this Oyster Card and the Visitor Oyster Card?

    • @ShaiExploresDaily
      @ShaiExploresDaily  23 дні тому

      The main difference between an Oyster card and a Visitor Oyster card is that Visitor Oyster cards come pre-loaded with credit, while standard Oyster cards do not:
      Visitor Oyster cards come pre-loaded with credit, so you don't need to load it when you arrive in London. You can choose how much credit you want, from £10 to £50.
      You can buy Visitor Oyster cards before you arrive in London, while you can buy standard Oyster cards when you arrive.
      Visitor Oyster card holders receive discounts at some London attractions, shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Whereas you don’t with normal ones.
      Visitor Oyster cards can't be registered on the TFL website, so you can't top them up online unlike normal Oyster cards.
      You can get a refund of up to £10 of unused pay-as-you-go credit on your Visitor Oyster card at most Tube station ticket machines, Visitor Centres, or on the TFL website.

      @ShaiExploresDaily thank you. My other question is, you mentioned contactless cards. Is that the visa/mastercard credit cards? And if i use this form of payment, do i accumulate the caps for the day like an oyster card?

    Thanks for your video. So if I use 4 buses in one day. Usually I pay by Apple Pay on phone. I also have an Oyster card. Is it capped after 3 or 4. Journeys? I usually stay within 1-3 Zones I think. So it's £1.75 each Bus ride. Works out a £7.00. For 4 Bus trips. So maybe it's capped less than this. Thank You.

      Thanks for watching, in London, the daily bus cap is £5.25 and the hourly cap is £1.25, it can be any bus journey in London as the buses don’t have zones. I hope that helps, please subscribe if you haven’t already

      Am l correct in saying that you have to decide on one card to get the daily cap, what l am trying to say is not to mix them for journeys on the same day.
