Am I still eligible to get a 16+ oyster

The 16+ Oyster Card is exclusively for people aged 16-17. You may use the card until it’s expiration date - even once you have turned 18.

However, once you turn 18 you are no longer eligible to apply for a new 16+ card. Once you turn 18 and you need a new Oyster Card, you will have to get the 18+ one.

Your educational situation has no role in this - it is purely to do with your age.

Hey!
I'm having the same problem - I created an account on the website but the only two options are the 16+ card (which lasts for another year) or the 18+ student apprenticeship card (which I'm not doing). I read through the page and it says that if you are 18 on the 31 august (and live in a london borough) then you can apply for a 16+ card. So if your birthday is after august you can apply for one - this is the case for me, which is why I think it's an option. However, since you're 18 you'll have to create your own account.

Hope that helps!

Hiii does it still apply?? I turned 19 last month and wondered can I still use a 16+ oyster after my other one expires I'll be going to uni soon and some people say yeah
