Tips Untuk Getting Around London ~ Transportation

Sumber: Forum Cari ya.

Underground tube - boleh beli oyster card ( my preference) atau london pass, oyster card bagus kalau bawa kids takde caj, pastu kalau kita dah spent sampai certain u=amount dalam satu hari, dapat free dah lepas tu...pendek kata kalau ada oyster card dan hafal some of the station, dah cukup nak pusing2 London.  Other option dari oyster card, pakai travelcard, (esp kalau short term visitor), tapi kids kena charge, no deposit compare to oyster cards..kalau oyster cards kena deposit 10gbp kalau tak silap...boleh dpt balik kalau kita pulangkan kad tu, kad tu boleh dibeli kat stesen atau mana2 newstand
 
Public red busses mcm bus biasa, ade setengah boleh pakai oyster card gak...info bas mana route mana, boleh dapat lengkap kat every bus stop, bus dia sangat efisien
 
Hop on Off bus - boleh beli pass untuk sehari, kalau time winter sebab masa pendek , dia bagi 2hari untuk satu pass.. personally i rasa yang ni ok tapi slalu stuck dlm jam, buang masa
Open top red london bus tour - yg ni boleh bundled dgn tour luar london mcm windsor stonehenge semua

nak jalan jalan naik tube senang je, sila hafal map ni
