| Pro Tip | Use it for planning, not as proof of payment. Coverage is regional, and a route shown in the app may still require an operator ticket or contactless tap. | Planning works without an account. Payment-account access is limited by region, and you still pay by touching the same card, phone, watch or Oyster card at readers. |
