Think of a Travelcard as an all-you-can-eat buffet for public transport, but instead of rubbery pizza, you get tubes, buses, trains, and trams. For Zones 1-2 (the heart of London), a weekly Travelcard on an Oyster card will cost you around £45.40. That’s about the price of three nice pub lunches, or one very sad meal at an airport.
Suddenly that cost doesn’t sound so bad, does it? Especially when you remember that a single tube ride in Zone 1 can cost £2.80 during peak times.
