Transport for London
Using contactless payment cards on buses

You can now pay for your bus travel using contactless credit, debit or charge cards, as well as cash and Oyster cards.

The Contactless Card symbol If you have a credit, debit or charge card that has been issued in the UK and displays the contactless payment symbol (pictured on the right), you should be able to use it on buses to pay for single journeys.



You just need to touch your card flat on the yellow card reader as you board a bus - exactly the same as when you use an Oyster card.

Not all contactless payment cards carry this symbol. Your card issuer should have told you if your card can be used for contactless transactions when it was issued to you ...

... Future Developments

In late 2013, you'll be able to use your contactless payment card on:

    Tube
    Docklands Light Rail (DLR)
    Trams
    London Overground
