Tfl oyster card issues
Guys I thought 16 years old are allowed to travel on bus and trams for free, I ordered my new oyster card but it says 16+ half rate travel instead of 16+ free travel, I don't know what wrong,

From https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/find-fares/bus-and-tram-fares
"16+
"If you have a 16+ Zip Oyster photocard and live in London, you get free travel on buses and trams. If you live outside London, you get 50% off adult fares."
So presumably you live outside London.

Then I would suggest that you contact TfL's customer services to see what you need to do to get the correct card issued.
