Oyster or Travel Card is the best answer to the question, will be in London depends on the number of days and planned trips.

After thinking for a long time I answer this question I found a method as follows. We use and how many times we’re going to go on a few metro areas counted one by one and hit them with the ticket price. All in all I found the figure deal to deal. For this reason, I chose the Travel Card. I made a good choice that the Travel Card. Oyster’s because the buses do not have an advantage. Each bus exchange are paid separately. Travel Card be able to do, but got unlimited landed. I think it is more accurate to use the bus instead of the subway more very useful for Travel Card.

 

Finally I want to mention the different Travel Card obtained from  Train Station This photo-travel card give som benefits who wants to visit London Tower, Madamme Toussoud or London Bridge. When you show this card you can get two tickets with one price. But In ordet to get this card, you must buy it only trains stations (not metro) like Peddington or Kings Cross and give a photo
