18+ Oyster Card

I was wondering do you get free bus travel on a single fair with the 18+ like you do with the 16+ card? I've been looking around the TFL site but it's far from helpful with Single fairs. Thanks in advance.

You don't

A single fair costs £1.20 if I remember correctly.

Going from free bus travel to paying £1.20 is HUGE!

I'm 19 but I've been using my little brother's 13+ oyster card for the past 2 years. It's really cheap.

The 30% discount is only for 1 week/month/year passes. You have to pay the adult rate for single fares. £1.20 is expensive considering the quality of service.

BTW- if you pay a single fare then have to change bus (cos it broke down or whatever) get the driver to give you a receipt so yo dont pay twice.

£1.20 is very cheap compared to the rest of England.

Considering I can pay £1.40 to get 3 miles away or with my oyster on london buses it's free/would be £1.20 to get 20miles away...

Still a blow, but train fares etc are still a lot cheaper than anywhere else

Thats a tad high.

Its 70p for me single! The joys of county council subsidising kids fares up to the age of 21, however I'm very impressed with the £2.05 return fare from Ipswich to Stowmarket - its 30 miles round trip.
