Shouldn't be a problem as it is number of transaction cycles rather than time that "wears out" the card. You may need to get the card "re-activated" at a ticket office but this is standard practice as on other smartcard systems. -- Paul C Like at heathrow? |

I live in us if i come back for the Olympics will it still be refillable? Shouldn't be a problem as it is number of transaction cycles rather than time that "wears out" the card. In other words, a well used Oyster card will eventually become frazzled? You may need to get the card "re-activated" at a ticket office but this is standard practice as on other smartcard systems. Like at heathrow? Any ticket office should be able to read the card and re-activate it. It's only "switched off" due to lack of regular use. This happens with my Octopus card in HK - it takes seconds to reactivate and stick some cash on it. I'm not sure this has actually been implemented with Oyster though - although the Oyster T&Cs certainly reserve the right for it to happen (IIRC after 2 years of no use). |
