What are the advantages of the 16+ ZIP Oyster photocard?

With the 16+ ZIP Oyster photocard, children aged 16 to 17 benefit from:

of the Adult rate discounted at 50% for their journeys by bus, tram, metro and train
free bus and tram rides if they are London residents and full time students

If your child is 18 but was 17 on August 31 of the current year - is a London resident and full-time student - they are eligible for the 16+ ZIP Oyster photocard.

If your child is 16 but was 15 on August 31 of the current year, they are also eligible for the 11-15 Zip Oyster photocard.

This card makes a different noise than the classic Oyster card at the pointing terminals. By traveling with a ZIP Oyster photocard that is not yours you risk a £80 fine + cancellation of rights and a withdrawal of the card for the real subscriber.

The subscription to the ZIP Oyster photocard is done only through the Internet.
