Oyster Card - TfLs Travel Discount Card

Recently, the Transport for London has been quoted as saying that more than 10 million Oyster smart cards have been issued since the e-ticketing system was launched three years ago, with just five per cent of journeys on the tube and bus networks now paid for by cash. Mayor of London Ken Livingstone wants the Oyster system to cover the whole of London's transport network. He says,  "Oyster has already proved itself to many millions of Londoners."

Latest development is that Barclaycard customers in London are able to use their credit and debit cards to make contact-free, cashless payments and to travel around the capital under a deal signed with TranSys, the company behind the Oyster smart card.
