Can you tap your contactless card at the barriers to pay for several passengers, e.g. by handing the card to the next one coming in? Or this this method only for single travellers?
- pityJuke 2y ago> You can pay for someone else's travel with your contactless card or device if they're travelling with you. You need to pay for your own travel with a different card or device. https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/how-to-pay-and-where-to-buy-tickets-and-oyster/pay-as-you-go/contactless-and-mobile-pay-as-you-go https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/how-to-pay-and-where-to-buy-tickets...
- banf 2y agoSo I can't pay for others? I can pay for others but then I need another card or device for me
- jannes 2y agoExactly. Let‘s say you have: 1 contactless bank card, 1 iPhone, and 1 Apple Watch These count as three different cards and would therefore allow you to pay for your own fare and two additional people.

- mjg59 2y agoYou can't. It's one card per traveler.
- barnabee 2y agoSingle traveller per card. You also have to tap out at the end so it can calculate the fare. If you have more than one card you can let others in your group use those. Though it’s been a few years since I was travelling with anyone who didn’t have either a contactless card or Apple Pay / the Android equivalent, which also works and is arguably even more convenient.

- jayceedenton 2y agoDoes anyone know if you can use Go Henry or Hyperjar cards on the tube?
- PurestGuava 2y agoSo long as it has contactless, it's fine.
- vidarh 2y agoYes, you can, at least Go Henry. But you'll pay adult fares, so treat it as a fallback.
- andylynch 2y agoAll London kids should use a Zip oyster; contactless is always adult fare but with zip it’s child fares (and free buses)
- lozenge 2y agoYou can buy an Oyster RFID card at the machine for any travellers that don't have bank cards. The fare is the same.
