Our Britrail passes enabled us to intersperse sight-seeing excursions around London with day trips to places as far away as York. Without them the high cost of day trips and the nuisance of having to buy tickets each time would have been a deterrent. Share this review:    |

This visit I experienced Oyster and cannot speak highly enough of this system. Convenience, ease of use, no calculating fares and zones and best of all no queueing!!! Touch on-Touch off. How simple and it works well. Easy to top up too. Thank you Share this review: |
Value 5.00 User Friendliness 5.00 Experience 5.00 Comfort 5.00 Service 5.00 | Best way to go!Linda Mary Langley ,USASeptember 17, 2013 I'm so glad a friend told me to buy an Oyster card as soon as I was ready to step on a train. This really was so easy, and it's nice to know when I come back to the UK I already have some of my travel prepaid.
Works like a charm!

Value 5.00 User Friendliness 5.00 Experience 5.00 Comfort 5.00 Service 5.00 | The Oyster Was My WorldHenry J. Wise ,U.S.A.September 17, 2013 The Oyster card made travel in London a breeze. It was as easy to use as my "Breeze" card, which is the comparable pass card for the Metropolitan Atlanta Regional Transit System (MARTA). Share this review: |
Value 4.00 User Friendliness 5.00 Experience 5.00 Comfort 5.00 Service 5.00 | OYSTER CARD REVIEWRalphLCG ,NEW ZEALANDSeptember 17, 2013 Travel on London's transport system is expensive. The Oyster Card mitigates this cost to some extent. However, its greatest strength is is its convenience - no need to calculate fare zones or worry about finding the right change. Just swipe on and swipe off at beginning and end and it does the rest. The monetary value stored is indefinite. It's a must for all travellers in London. I still have mine and will use again on a return visit.
Don't leave home without it!

We used the tube several times a day, we could alsways get near our destination with a minumum of fuss. Much less than a black cab. Share this review: |
