Did you know you can use your London travelcard on ALL Bus routes?
I didn't.
Thanks to Jude for spotting this page on the London Transport website:
"Any Travelcard or LT Card is valid for travel across the entire London bus network.
For example, with a 7 Day Travelcard for Zone 3 you may travel within Zone 3 by Tube, Tramlink, DLR and National Rail, but you may travel across the entire London bus network."
... meaning that my zone 1-2 travelcard will work for all the London bus routes!
And I've been paying everytime I go outside Zone 2 for *years*. grrr.
Don't worry, the 'entire london bus network' validity has only been since Jan 2003 - TfL haven't advertised this very well - they should give examples (ie your zone 2-3 travelcard is valid on buses in zones 1-6).
This is good news for those who work just inside zone 1 (eg Westminster) - get a tube to the zone 1-2 boundary (eg Vauxhall) and get a bus from there - takes the same amount of time & halves the price of your season ticket.
Is that still valid?
Yes, provided the buses displays the red Transport for London sign - see page 25 of the current edition of "Your guide to fares and tickets" (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/guide-to-fares-and-tickets-08-01-02.pdf), available on the "Fares and tickets" page of the TfL website.
IF I BUY A 7 DAY TRAVEL CARD FROM ZONE 4 CAN I TRAVEL TO ZONE 6 WHILE STILL USING ZONE 1
can i use my monthly travel card zones 2-4 on the buses in London for example can i get a bus from Lewisham train station to Mooregate station using my travel card.
i am travelling into London for the next 4 days peck times but i have a monthly travel card zone 2-4 i am trying to find the cheapist way of traveling can you help me please?
thank you
