I live in zone three and work in zone 1. I normally travel by bus. But

Am I correct in thinking a zone 2 and 3 travel card also includes an
all zone bus pass? And would this also be the best option for me with
minimal tube travel in an outer?


Many thanks and kind regards,


You are correct in thinking that all period Travelcards include bus
travel on all TfL buses across all zones.

You don't say whether your journey to work involves more than one bus,
or how many days a week you work. Whether a zone 2 and 3 period
Travelcard is the best option for you or not depends on this. The
current price for one for 7 days is GBP15. If you work five days a
week and take only one bus to work, Oyster PAYG would be much cheaper
- GBP10 per week (10 x GBP1). Two buses each way and the Travelcard is
cheaper.


Many thanks for your reply. I do only work five days and do take one
bus a day (29).

After the replies today, I have just bought the zone 2-3 travel card.
Should give me a lot more flexibility.

However I just have one more question. Can I use this travel card to
travel through zone one? Example Wood Green to Kew Gardens.

Many thanks for everyone's help here.
Kind Regards,
