London Oyster Card

The Mamata Banerjee government today launched what could evolve into London's all- in-one Oyster Card for the metropolis's transport. It is called the 'West Bengal Transport Card' and will enable commuters to swipe and pay fares on all state-run buses, trams and ferries in the city.

Cash can no longer be used on any of London's buses, a cost-cutting measure that could save Transport of London (TfL) 24 million pounds a year. Passengers will need a prepaid or concessionary ticket, Oyster card or a contactless payment card to travel on London's buses from Sunday.
