The Oyster cards affected by price increases

  • Transport for London (TfL) has increased the price of London's Oyster cards for the first time in a decade, attributing the rises to increasing operational costs.
  • The application fee for the 60+ London Oyster card has seen the largest increase, almost doubling from £20 to £35.
  • Fees for the annual eligibility check and replacement 60+ photocards have also risen from £10 to £18, with increases also applied to various Zip photocards.
  • From 7 September, the cost of new Oyster cards and Visitor Oyster cards will increase from £7 to £10.
  • Michael Roberts, Chief Executive of London TravelWatch, criticised the increases, stating they are unwelcome news for Londoners facing the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.
