Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Travel Card Holder?
A travel card holder typically refers to a small wallet or pouch designed to hold and organize travel-related cards. These cards may include your Oyster Card, Travelcard, Bus Pass, Railcard, Train Pass, School Bus Pass, Smart Ticket, Ski Pass, travel pass, train smartcard, Freedom Pass, credit card, debit card, identification card, Work ID card, driving licence, hotel key card, or other essential cards needed during travel. The primary purpose of a travel card holder is to keep these items organized and easily accessible while on the go.
What is an Oyster Card?
An Oyster card is a contactless smart card used for public transportation in London, UK. It is a convenient and efficient way for passengers to pay for their travel across various modes of transportation within London, including the London Underground (Tube), buses, trams, the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), London Overground, Elizabeth Line, Thames Clipper River Bus, IFS Cloud Cable Car and most National Rail services in London. (Check the ‘Transport for London’ website for restrictions).
The Oyster card works by holding electronic funds, and passengers can add credit to the card. Instead of using traditional paper tickets, travellers can simply touch their Oyster card on the yellow card readers at stations or on buses and trams to access the transportation services. (Again, see the ‘Transport for London’ website, detailing when to touch your Oyster Card to the card readers, for which services).
The card calculates the cost of the journey based on the zones travelled and the mode of transportation used, automatically deducting the appropriate fare from the card's balance. Oyster cards provide flexibility and cost savings for regular commuters and occasional travellers alike and help avoid queuing at stations.
In addition to pay-as-you-go credit, Oyster cards can also be loaded with various travel products, such as daily, weekly, or monthly Travelcards, which offer unlimited travel within specific zones for a set period. Oyster cards have become an integral part of London's public transportation system, offering a convenient and efficient way for people to navigate the city's extensive transit network.
What is an Oyster Card Holder?
An Oyster card holder is a small protective case or wallet designed specifically for holding an Oyster card.
An Oyster card holder serves as a protective covering for the Oyster card, preventing it from getting damaged, scratched, or lost. These holders are made of durable materials and may have a window section for easy visibility of the Oyster card. Our Oyster Card holders also come with an additional slot for storing other cards or small items like credit cards or identification.
