Question

I am 15 with an oyster card but i keep getting told by bus drivers that i need to put money on the card?

Answer 1

You need to have money (cash value) on the card in order to pay the required fare.

The card by itself is worthless.  It is the cash value placed on the card that is important.

Answer 2

I think you can top these up at your local shop,or store.,or even underground station

Answer 3

Ask them why, you should be getting free travel on London Buses if you are 15.

Answer 4

Yes.  It's a debit card.  It's not a pass.  You have to put money on it and then they deduct the money when you get on.
