Oyster card on a bus (how)?

Question

When you get onto a bus, do you have to press a certain side of the oyster card against the yellow pad?

Answer 1

Your Oyster Card should come in a handy blue plastic holder.  Just hold this against the yellow card reader on the left next to the driver when you get on-board.  If you go on a bendy bus you can just swipe on any of the readers.  Most of us don't bother and thus get a free ride.  Only problem is, if the Gestapo get on at the next stop, you're for it.

Answer 2

I think it works however you hold it.

Maybe you should have listened to this before buying an oyster card though :-)

Answer 5

Yeah, if you put it on upside down, it actually adds money to your account. Be carefull

Answer 6

Oyster cards will soon be obsolete, most of us Londoners use our mussels now, ask at any underground station.
