Oyster card

Transport for London customers who buy an Oyster card from Sunday 23 February will only be able to get their £5 deposit refunded if they keep the card for more than a year – but with over £200 million in deposits currently stuck on unused cards, it's worth checking if you can get a refund now. 

If you use Apple Pay or another mobile payment system on the underground or trains in London, never tap in and out on different devices - even if you're paying on the same card. That's our 'tap-dancing' warning to passengers after one London commuter was shocked to find she'd overpaid by more than £700 for a year's travel.

Millions of London commuters and visitors could pocket a share of the almost £350 million floating around on unused Oyster cards, after Transport for London's (TfL's) latest figures showed the pot of unclaimed cash increased by more than £60 million over the last 12 months.

Millions of Londoners risk not being able to get a refund if their Oyster card is lost or stolen as they haven't registered it to their online account.

London commuters and visitors will be able to hop on two buses for the price of one for journeys within an hour, following the launch of the new 'hopper fare' today.

From today millions of people will be able to travel on the London Underground using contactless payment cards, with fares costing the same as those for Oyster card users.

You'll be able to travel around London Underground using contactless payment cards from September, Transport for London (TfL) has announced today.

If you're travelling by bus in London from Sunday, don't bother trying to find change to pay the driver, as cash fares are being abolished.

Millions of people with Oyster cards they no longer use should check if there's cash still loaded on them, after new figures revealed there's nearly £124 million sat on dormant London transport smartcards.
