Day Travelcard

Neutral Neutral

What it really means

A one-day pass for unlimited travel on London transport (Tube, buses, most trains) within chosen zones. These days, contactless daily capping usually gives the same result automatically.

Chinese explanation
伦敦一日交通通票,在所选区域内当天不限次乘坐地铁、公交和大部分火车。如今用非接触式支付的每日封顶功能,通常能自动达到同样效果。

Example conversation

A: We are visiting five places in London today. Should we buy a Day Travelcard? B: You can, but if you just tap your bank card, the daily cap means you never pay more than the Travelcard price anyway.
A:我们今天要在伦敦跑五个地方,要买一日通票吗? B:可以买,不过直接刷银行卡也行,每日封顶意味着你花的钱不会超过通票价格。

What you could say back

“Then I will just use contactless.”
