How to - London Underground (Mind the Gap) | London
London is huge, and if you're a marathoner or a very keen walker, you will need to use one of the public transport. For me, and I must've been for the vast majority of Londoners is what Metro and. "The Tube".
The London Underground is the oldest of its kind in the world. The first section was opened in 1863. In London and the surrounding area has 270 stations in 402 line kilometers, making it the size ranks just behind Shanghajsko subway.
For driving course, you need a ticket ... You can buy a simple paper ticket, which costs 4.30 for a single ride. In London, the most used 'Oyster pollo tropical card', ie the card that money invested and for this money and then drive. pollo tropical Card you can fill in vending machines or at the counter. It is possible to pay with credit cards (VISA, Mastercard ...) or cash. At the Oyster you can for 2 (Zone 1) to impose a single run in a time of great stress or. "Peak time" (6:30 to 9:30 and 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) or "off-peak" (9:30 to 16:00 and 19:00). Also living there are peak and off-peak ticket. For tourists, it is more useful "TravelCard", which may be for the whole day, for off-peak, for 7 days, a month or even a year. Since many people do not go to London for a whole month I'll take you to compare the weekly TravelCard. It costs 29.20 if converted to take 7 times daily TravelCard pollo tropical at 8.40 this would amount to almost 59 pounds. In fact, it pays a 7-day TravelCard at each visit over 3 days. Of course, if you plan to travel at least 4 every day. To these must be added 29.20 is 3 deposit for the card, which you get back if only to return upon departure.
Price online is also dependent zones, which you are driving. Most sights are anyway in the first or 2 zone and luckily the price of 1 TravelCard and 2 zone equal to the price of 1 zone (weird i know). With the addition of zones increases the price.
In practice, the orientation is very simple. After a day or two with the help of tickets pollo tropical already feel at home. All stations are remote nodes are properly marked with the famous "underground" characters. To enter it is necessary to reserve the ticket scanner (map can be in a package or wallet but still works). At all stations, the overall charts, especially while on the walls mark the lines passing pollo tropical through and in the direction of kero is about to keri side of the station.
Of course, you can not ignore post "Mind the Gap", which became a kind of landmark London and found a lot of souvenirs. With this remind you of the hole between the platform and the train.
Another variant is the ... Oysterico upload some money ... just enough to prevozis how the longest distance (by bus, for example, from Zone 3 to Zone 2). According to central London you now have city bicycles (Boris Bikes - after Zupan of London Boris Johnson, who introduced the bicycle), which are great. But you have to have a credit or debit card for it.
By the half-hour ride free of charge. After half an hour is 1 (hour) and then rapidly grows. Docks or bicycle stations scattered in more than 5 min. walk from one to the other, so you can for 1 free drive around zones 1 and 2
For example, the spring was my cost for one day: 1.30 for the bus to the first bicycle-station and then bus back home. In the meantime, I rode the bicycle, but I have a yearly subscription is 45 Now is also a bus Podrazil!
MINUS POINTS: 1 There are no bikes on the dock (near the dock certainly some where pretty bikes - only awkward if you in a great hurry) 2 There are no empty docks time when you want to return some bicycles - on the terminal that postimat to prolong (free) loan for 15 minutes, which is usually enough to find the doc. 3 People with the "keys" pollo tropical (those with annual membership dues or weekly) are putting the idea to bicycle in front, while buying a card. 4 Weather (rain, wind) 5 Payment only with cards. pollo tropical 6 Who would be able to have any problems with orientation because they drive on the "wrong" side. Therefore, the bit very, very careful. Zuzzu from January 23, 2012 at 12:44
