Transport for London over 60 Oyster Card

Transport for London over 60 Oyster Cardにまつわる最新トピックを分かりやすく発信ます。

First, you need to be a resident of a London borough. If you live in the leafy suburbs of Surrey, sorry—you’ll have to stick to your car and your superior recycling bins. You also need to be 60 or over, which you already are, champ. No cheating by borrowing your mum’s card!

You can apply online through the TfL website. It’s surprisingly easy: fill in a form, upload a passport-style photo (no, the one from 1985 won’t work—you have to look like current you), and wait for the postie to deliver. You’ll get a temporary paper pass in the meantime, which is basically a free ticket with training wheels.

Pro Tip: Don’t Lose It.

Losing your Oyster card is like losing your dignity after a bad karaoke night—it’s awkward. If you lose it, you lose the credit on it (unless you register it). So register it immediately. It takes two minutes, and then you can sleep soundly knowing that if a pigeon runs off with your card, you’ll get your £5 deposit back.

And while we’re at it, top it up with a bit of pay-as-you-go credit. You’ll need that if you want to travel before 09:30 on weekdays. But let’s be honest—you’re probably not rushing anywhere at 7 AM. You’re sipping tea in your pajamas, scrolling through Facebook, and laughing at your kids’ early-morning commute photos.
