What it costs

£6.40 off-peak (£9.80 peak) for an adult single with contactless or Oyster. Peak fares apply when you touch in between 06:30 and 09:30 or between 16:00 and 19:00, Monday to Friday. Everything else is off-peak, including all day Saturday and Sunday and public holidays.

Daily and weekly capping limits what you pay across all TfL services, so several journeys in a day often cost less than the singles added up.
