Having failed to find the answer to my question on the TfL website I posted
a question there and *then* noticed that they say it may take up to seven
days (seven working days maybe) to get an answer. That was on 30th October.

I then posted the same question here (below) and had three answers within
the hour.

I have just had a reply from TfL - a mere 18 days (13 working days) later.

There's nothing like a prompt & efficient servive, and this ...

Sorry if this has been covered before but I searched & could not find it.

I have an Oyster PAYG and have friends staying with me for the weekend.
They live way out of London and so it does not make sense for them to get
Oyster cards. When we travel on the bus together can I use my Oyster card
to pay for them as well?

On the TFL site it says that you can share an Oyster card if it has pay as
you go with Auto top-up, however I don't have Auto top-up and that answer
does not make it clear that multiple people can share teh card at the same
time.

Also on the TFL site it says that you can lend your Oyster card for
visitors to anyone when you are not using. That implies that two people
cannot use it at the same time but does not make it clear if the
restriction only applies to Oyster card for visitors or to all Oyster
cards.


Many thanks
