London’s iconic double-decker buses are a quick, convenient and cheap way to travel around the city, with plenty of sightseeing opportunities along the way.
A single bus fare costs £1.50. You can pay this fare by using an Oyster card. To pay for your bus fare simply touch your Oyster card on the yellow card reader as you board the bus.
If you don’t have enough credit on your Oyster card, you will be able to make one more journey on a bus. You must then top up your credit before you can use your card again. Children under the age of 11 travel free on buses and trams.
When you see the bus coming, don’t forget to wave him down! When taking your seat, try to leave the elderly and disabled empty. If you are riding a double-Decker bus, take the top. It’s a great experience and disabled and elderly people can’t climb the steps as easily as you can.
Buses only stop at designated bus stops. They do not stop on request between bus stops. When your stop is coming up next, press one of the red buttons which can be found on standing poles throughout the bus. You will probably hear a bell and see a «bus stopping» light appear at the front of the bus.
