You do not need an Oyster card in 2026. A contactless debit or credit card, or a phone with Apple Pay or Google Pay, gives you exactly the same fares and the same daily and weekly caps. Simply tap in at the start of every Tube or rail journey and tap out at the end; on buses and trams you only tap in. The system charges you the cheapest combination automatically once you hit the cap.<\/p>\n

Official, up-to-date fares and a journey planner are published by Samg\u00f6ngur fyrir London<\/a>. If you prefer not to use a foreign card abroad, a UK SIM and mobile wallet can help \u2014 see our prepaid SIM guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
