Do London Zones affect the cost of an Oyster card or Travelcard?

[ishamittal70151]

Yes, the cost of an Oyster card or Travelcard is determined by the number of London Zones you travel through. If you live in Zones 1-2, you may pay more for rent but spend less on transport. On the other hand, if you choose accommodation in Zones 3-6, you’ll save on rent but might need a Travelcard covering multiple zones, which can add to your monthly expenses. Students should consider getting a Student Oyster card, which offers a 30% discount on Travelcards to help reduce travel costs.
