If you are in the process of leave for London or you are simply planning a trip, you have certainly wondered which is the best subway pass to do once you arrive in the city. Well, let's do some clarity.
Oyster Card: the smartcard for those who already know they will travel a lot during the day. Cons: needs a deposit £ 2, which can take place in shops or in subway offices and counters. Positive aspect: applies to all means of London, from buses to the underground and even in many trains.
The very thing positive is that in the course of the day when you arrive at a certain number of trips, the Oyster Card allows you to travel for free, in the literal sense of the phrase, the more you use it the less it costs you.
The card can be used according to consumption or you can make a weekly subscription or for the days that are needed, the cost of tickets with this card is lower than tickets for single journeys. Also it is possible reload from the ticket offices of the metro also automatic, but also online (where it can also be bought first travel) for added convenience.
Travel Card: it can be customized by choosing the days and areas to visit, certainly a lot more for tourists who already have a given program and things to see in mind. Also in this case the card can be purchased before the trip, online.
