Using an Oyster card is an easy way to save time and money if you are planning to use publictransportation in London. An Oyster card is a blue credit-card-sized contactless smartcard that can be used on everyform of public transportation within London, including public bus, underground, railway, and some river boat services.The Oyster card was first issued on June 30, 2003. The name was decided after a lengthy discussion. Two otherproposed names were “Pulse” and “Gem.” “Oyster” was chosen because it sounded like a fresh name that was notdirectly linked to transportation; also, the hard shell of an oyster and the concealed pearl symbolize security and value.But perhaps the best reason is William Shakespeare’s quote “ The world is your oyster,” which means one has theability and freedom to do anything or go anywhere. So far more than 60 million cards have been issued and over 85%of rail and bus travel in London is paid by using an Oyster card. The card never expires. It can be used after any lengthof time. Besides, deposits can be refunded on return of the card.The best reason to get an Oyster card is cost savings and convenience. It is cheaper to travel in London with thiscard than it is to purchase individual paper tickets for each trip. The card allows 40 people to pass through a ticket gateper minute, 15 more than with paper tickets, and also makes boarding a bus three times faster. For LondonUnderground and the railway system, passengers have to touch the card on an electronic reader when entering andleaving the transport system. The reader will show either a green or a red light. The former indicates that you havesufficient credit for your journey while the latter indicates you do not have enough credit and you have to purchasemore credit before you can continue your journey. For the public bus service, which has fixed price, passengers onlyneed to touch the reader at the start of the journey when boarding. If you touch the reader again when you get off thebus, you will be charged an additional fare.
