About transportation
London Underground APP——【Tube map APP】
London's Underground system is the oldest in the world. At first glance, the London underground map looks like a myriad of coloured yarns are tangled together, and you can't find a clue. But the Underground is the most important way for people in London to get around, and knowing about the Underground basically means that there are no more obstacles to getting around London.
At this time, Tube map is the best artifact. The controls in Tube map are very simple, as you only have a map of the London Underground when you open the app. But it's not simple. Click on the search bar and you'll see the nearest metro station; Enter your destination and it will help you plan your trip; In addition, from time to time, there will be a subway strike in London, which can also check the real-time situation of each line.
London transport card - [Oyster card]
When you travel by public transport in London, you can use the Oyster Card to access almost all of London's Tube, buses, light rails and overground listings.
Oyster cards are available at major metro stations and require a deposit of five pounds at the time of purchase, which can be returned at the end of the trip and the deposit and balance can be recovered. You can choose to pay in cash, use the Oyster Prepaid Prepaid London Card, or purchase a Paper Travel Card. The price of the trip varies depending on the type of ticket you choose, as well as the region and time of day you are travelling. However, the cost of using the Oyster card to take the subway and bus every day is actually capped, that is, there is a maximum daily expense for unlimited rides, and after reaching this fee, no matter how many times you take it again, you will not be deducted again~
