    The biggest surprise when my father and I went to War of the Worlds was using a contactless payment to get around the London Underground to tap in and tap out rather than wondering what ticket to get.
    So convenient.

    Thanks! I'm a Canadian resident and will be passing through London briefly. Your video clarified for me that using my [Canadian] debit card is likely the best option for a couple of short trips on the underground. I also had a quick look at Monzo -- and noted hat it is currently only available to UK residents only.

    Just spent 5 weeks in the UK, last week in London with my wife and 3 yo (US citizen). No need for an Oyster card. Just call your bank or CC company and see if there is a card that doesn't have overseas fees. My USAA card doesn't have one. However both my wife and I needed to have our own cards. Through USAA, I was able to get my wife a card of her own (it's still on my account) And my daughter doesn't have to pay since she's under 5.

  • @nigelbenn4642
    @nigelbenn4642 Рік тому +2

    Best way to get around on a day trip is the day travel card, don't use your bank card! If you want to get shanked then keep getting your card out the odds on losing it or getting it robbed goes up every time you get it out. Also there's no method of TFL working out if you are lots of single routes together or your a visitor needing a better value of travel. Bank card is a stupid idea. Oyster is OK but again it's down to TFL to know what you're doing. Best way is travel loads on the tube get the bets out of London and use unlimited travel on a cheap day ticket.

      Hi! It’s broken down into zones and each area is within a zone. Zone 1 is central London and then moving out, the outskirts of London will be Zone 5. If you travel through zone 5 to zone 1 then it would be expensive that Zone 5 to Zone 5 :) check which stop you are going to and which zone online!

    My wife and I are planning to visit London next month, for the first time in over 20 years.
    I am just a little bit puzzled regarding price capping on public transport.
    The price caps are showing as £4.95 (bus) and £7.70 (underground, zones 1 and 2) .. If I took 3 or 4 journeys on the underground and 3 or 4 bus journeys in a single day would I end up paying £4.95 + £7.70 for the day ?
    If that's the case, it would seen sensible to perhaps have one day only using the underground and the next for example only the bus, so paying £7.70 for one day and £4.95 the next.
    Are these caps the exact same with a normal contactless UK bank card ?
    Regards from Whitley Bay

    • @TheK9Shepherd
      @TheK9Shepherd Рік тому +6

      You have probably already found out. I was told the bus cap and underground cap are combined. They are not separate so when you travel using both, the max cap will be the higher of the two, so the 7.70. We just spent a week in London and checking my card each day, I saw a max of something like $8.40 (after conversion) for both me and my wife.

  • @stefanmueller515

    In the Tube, to use “pay as you go” you usually need one contactless card per person, which you have to use to check in and out.
    Now I have the question, if whether different people can ride the tube at the same time if everyone has the same credit card stored in ApplePay on their iPhone and uses this.
    Thanks for your answers!

      You simply tap your card or device on the card reader when entering and exiting the stations, and your bank will calculate the fare based on your journey. This makes traveling around London hassle-free and eliminates the need for purchasing individual tickets. But there are oyster cards and railcards that are cheaper.

    thank you for the video. I was wondering is Heathrow considered in the oyster zone 6 for price cap? I need to travel to pick my friend up from Heathrow next week back to London, so I was wondering if using TLF would be applicable for the price cap.

      London Underground's Piccadilly Line provides the most cost-effective rail route between Heathrow and London :)
      Journey time by the Piccadilly Line is under an hour from central London and you shouldn't have to wait longer than ten minutes for a train! Hope you have a nice trip!

      You most likely will be charged the maximum for 2 journeys. You can log in to TFL online and edit the journey and claim your money back!

    You assumed everyone is travelling as an individual, what if I'm visiting London with kids? They don't have contactless cards, how would I get everyone through the gate with one card?

    Hi Joe, I arrive in London in 2 weeks for one week vacation. A 7 day Travel card is 40 pounds for zone 1,2. But how do I get to central London from Heathrow? Should I buy a single ticket to get to zone 1?

      Although you've already done this journey. If you're hotel is inside zones 1+2 then just pay a one off to get into the centre. There's an express that brings you into Paddington from LHR
