Hi,

I've looked over the groups and the Oyster website and cannot find the
answer to my question:

Is there a charge to own an Oyster card in the first place or do you
just pay the cost of the season/monthly/7-day travelcard and get the
card for free? I've been told that there is a charge for the card
itself, with the actual cost of transport to be paid on top.

please can someone clarify?

thanks
