I don't even live in London why am I watching this
FWRajah if you ever make a trip to London and decide to use a bus, using this card is your only option as buses no longer take cash
You're watching it because the driver is actually a member of the Night's Watch.
I'm from Spain and this system is just amazing for tourists. You just touch with your credit card and get in.
Good luck trying some so simple here with our crappy mass transit systems :\
Gabriel
This system just seems horrible to me. You are basically excluded from public transport if you don't have one of these cards or another supported credit or debit card.
That's nothing I just watched a tutorial on how to pump fuel without arms despite having them both.
am literally in the bus with him right now 😊😂
William George should’ve gone up to him and said “The computer is never wrong” as you alighted.
Computers are never wrong? What horse shit 😅
ikr this guy doesnt know shit about how computers work
The computer is NEVER wrong.
Computers get it right, but they're often programmed incorrectly and so display what we see as the wrong result but what's correct according to the program.
Harrison Owen umm no that's not the only way
They do go wrong but it isnt the computer, its the developer
I get this all the time working for the National Rail. A passenger once tapped in, only once though on the gate - POD read 36 - no money. Strangely though with the same card the ticket machine stated he had a valid season ticket. But the machine 99.99% is not wrong, especially when checking their journey history then finally they submit defeat and walk off.
Thank you to all bus drivers that keep london moving 🤗
When I was a child I had a zip card and it never wanted to work once it got a red light then it never worked after that
0:56 LOL EXACTLY THEY KEEP DOING IT. And I'm like is ur brain working properly mate?
This video was fun to watch obviously.
I've topped up at a shop at the bus stop, waited for the bus, that bus it doesn't work, I wait for the next one and it does. But that means I've lost 20mins of the day and might be late. So this system doesn't always work well.
it isn't actually always right, I had a weekly travel card on mine and it wasn't working and kept saying insufficient funds and I had to show the driver my receipt that I literally paid for a weekly travel card 5 hours ago, so yeah, it isn't always right.
Celtic Goals 2016/17 ...it's what the ticket inspectors keep telling me!
It's a system that is hard to understand!
As long as you keep the receipt that you have topped up...then that is proof to show the inspector!
Celtic Goals 2016/17 As a driver, I would say sorry the receipt cannot prove 'that' oyster card was topped up.
But at that point you'd have to have topped up at least one card and it would only be a few minutes
if your oyster card is in a negative balance your travel card is not valid.
okay to clarify.
1) oyster wasn't in a negative.
2) zone 1-6 oyster and I had already gotten a southern service to victoria that day, a tube from Victoria and another bus that day, it was literally just that bus, After that bus I also managed to get the train back from london victoria to croydon which I clearly wouldn't of been able to do if it wasn't valid or in a negative, also if in a negative I wouldn't of been able to get the previous days journeys
my point is that the reader isn't always right and it can come with errors as every single peice of technology can.....
I use a free nexus bus pass (tyne and wear metro , nexus , stagecoach north east , go ahead north east , arriva north east) lets kids during holidays
Yeah the computer is never wrong.. except when it is, many times including with me it red lights after a swipe and finally goes green after the 3rd or 4th swipe.
Also in London they advertise you can get more then one bus in an hour and it won't cost anymore then the first bus, I've had it crap out on that one too only to goto the tube station to check and find my cards got more then enough money and should not be trying to charge when your getting on several buses within an hour of each other anyway, and I do always check the clock on the bus to know what time I've got on to get my times right within the hour.
In Scotland for the bus it’s 70 pence and fir the tube it is 55 pence for the tube
Oyster is so cheap compared to Manchester bus price
Right!! I'm moving to london from Manc and can't believe it. In manchester they charge you like 4 quid just travelling down the road LMAO. 5.50 for a fuckin day 'saver' as well.
Oh ok then. Didn't know that. I wasn't trying to get in to the bus without paying if that's what you thing
I've found that if you can calmly tell the driver what your intentions are they'll kindly help you. I had just gotten a contactless card and didn't know I had to use my pin in a transaction first for it to work on the bus. I'm sure that when the machine bleeped red that the driver knew what was going on. He explained that this stuff happens a lot, and have me a slip to pay online in a few days.
In nz we have this cards called at hop cards
I find it funny when people scan their card, it says “not enough money” and they just walk on as if nothing happened.
The problem is that most drivers still let these people in!
As they should tbh not everyone has the money also most are kids and they forgot there oyster so let them on.
The machines for the tram aren't always correct, I've had several problems where it's gone green on the machine, said card accepted, but when guards come on and check it says that it was declined. So I switched to Oyster, and had a similar issue where it says I can go on and money has come off, but it's a couple times they've checked and it's said that I never tapped and there's still money on there. They're not always working properly, just be careful.
I've topped up online with proof and it's not worked shown to the driver with the til account showing that I have money on the card and yet rejected to get on the bus, even with the promise to try it again before I get off, yet not allowed to use the bus and as such been late for work. So the machine can be wrong!
So what if you have no money left on your Oyster and it blinks red? Can you buy tickets from the driver?
....No...drivers can not sell tickets since July 2014.
You have to top up online on the T.F.L Oyster-card app or top up at any bus and tube stations/local shops that have the oyster ticket logo...!!!
I've had one on where the machine didn't work at all for anyone on the 23...
The driver just stuck a newspaper in front of it lol
Matt's Transport Videos ....yes that's when the reader is faulty!
If card reader really fails, then the driver should note the card numbers on the paper and notify the operator.
I stick my hi vis around it
My Oyster card bleeps more than once bc I have a zip card
To be fair, in my experience, using contactless via a mobile phone sometimes it does not scan right and goes red first time.
What the limit on the Oyster Card?
NYC, Westchester County, and Nassau County, Long Island, NY, have MetroCards capped at $100. OMNY most likely doesn’t have a cap, so, What’s the Cap of the Oyster Cards?
"Computer is never wrong" hahaha. It is if its programmed by me.
Yeah but sometimes it shows red even though it’s a student oyester Card
What should I do if I‘m a tourist in london, and havn‘t got sutch a card? How could I pay?
Gotta be reasonable though mate, the computer can be wrong. It's unfeesible that Oyster could even be a perfect system, they really don't exist (yet). However, the problem will be with the cards, likely not with the machine.
I have defrauded these things for hundreds of dollars
?
1:19 😂 😂 😂
most of the time I get on the bus there is noise and I don't look at the ticket machine therefore I always tap more than once
BusesinLondon345 ...that's great...good practise!
Busses are better than London Underground
Why doesn’t the disabled pass work on London buses when it works on many other providers around the uk
Will my zip card work if it got snapped in half?
Im from finland why am i even watching this?
What is the difference between a beep and a bleep?
My zip card is "glitchy" once I got on a bus and i pressed it and it made an oyster card noise.But a zip card makes several bleeps and not one long one like an oyster.
He spent £34.70 by scanning it in this video.
Alex Turner looks different in this one.
there were 2 oyster cars then it was red then i realized it had 2 oysters in my cover
Not everybody are trying to get away
Public Transport is expensive
How does the System know when you got off the bus? Does the driver enter it when boarding?
TomTomcrafter 001 you tap in once and pay the same £1.50 fare for the journey; no matter how far you travel.
What happens if it happens with a zip oyster
Which company do you drive for?
i do
The bleeping sound 'BLEEP BLEEP'
is soooooooooo annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First one Hi oyster scans are annoying and funny.
omsi2gaming#GG omsi2gaming#GG the awkward moment when you think you're the first comment but you're not...
omsi2gaming#GG omsi2gaming#GG I
Computers never wrong? So why is it that I can tap my card and it will go red so I tap again and it accepts it? Hm
The oysters card machine is covered so passengers cant see if the green light is showing every stupid bus so i just walk on then the buse driver a has a fit... 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Uncover the stupid machine so people getting on the bus can see it go green. And stop dumping every one suddenly off the bus everyday this happens on my rout 13 .absolutely stupid daily weekly
But if the top up didn’t go through so they got mugged in a off license
Always get a receipt.
Computer can be wrong I used my contactless many times first attempt get a red but after that works fine don’t listen to this geezer it can be wrong
If a Karen was a man
Pretty sure this is the guy i spat at a while back
Thats BS my friend, so many times my card gets rejected and then I tap again and it works.
Yeah...I've noticed things since I've done this video. Well said.
Why I am watching this, im from chester lul
I get on atleast 80% of buses without paying. I saved hundreds of pounds by not paying. I will continue to get free transport for the rest of my life and use you. What are you going to about it?
The problem that usually arises with 11-15 or 16-18 year olds is they should get free bus travel, but despite this, the card WON'T let them travel with negative money, say if they miscalculated a tube fair and now need a bus, and the gate let them out with negative balance, they just can't get on the bus, and the machine claims you don't have enough money. For a FREE bus ride. With 11-15 year old's it isn't usually an issue because you can tell they're young. For 16-18 years old though, you're kinda screwed if the bus driver is in a bad enough mood.
What if you show the driver the card with your face and expiry date on it?
Oyster is the thin end of a fascist surveillance system... Dave Wetzel's Travelcard was the business - Just noting.
Well I have a zip oyster (free travel for children and students) and it still gets rejected sometimes. The readers can be faulty and about 10% of the time usually are.
Abubakr Bhyat yep
yh
It's because your balance is on minius, it has to at least zero for your zip card to work
A student card u can only use for getting to school and back, there's certain hours it works like on a weekend it won't work at all
Spongebob With no vids with 1000 subs it does work on the weekend actually
Just a heads up, computers can always go wrong because it’s technology. I’ve had so many times when money would be on my ouster but there’s been a fault with the machine. Even confirmed by tfl.
It makes me laugh because he said it’s never wrong but Ive been on loads of buses were I couldn’t get on and I’m 15 so I get the fair free 😂😂
Billy Preston likewise
I laugh when it happens cause how can it go red if our oysters is free , even older people like my mum tapped once & it went red , then tapped again it was green
@@saskiaparker706 It it won't let you go on the bus with a minus balance on your card even if it's a free student oyster
Ashley Horsman yes it will you dont need any money at all to use a zip card
@@anele4672 negative balance I said not zero balance. I have travelled the London system for 8 years as a student. I know how it works
In my opinion, the driver shouldn't have to deal wth non paying customers. It's stressful enough having to drive a bus in London, without adding the stress of having to deal with problem passengers. I've just come back from a trip to Rome and the drivers are completely segregated from the passengers, although you can talk to them if you need to. The card payment readers are at the front and rear doors, so the passengers don't even pass by the driver. Whether they tap in or not should be the inspectors' problem...Bus Drivers are not doormen, security guards or inspectors and should be left to drive without the hassle! :-)
Bus-Man-Sean ...I agree Sean....I'd like to visit other countries in the future and film/document what it's like for bus drivers there....so that the U.K can learn from them! 👍😀👌
Bus-Man-Sean Unless they put people on the bus like the one on routmasters.
but in rome very few people pay for the bus they just walk on for example when i was there i paid for my ticket from the travel shop for a month in advance however when i spoke to the locals they told me i had wasted my money because nobody checks the tickets
Sounds like a waste of taxpayer's money to me to employ another person to just do this job - maybe we could use some kind of technology instead
+Chris Hero ha ha gotta love the Italians
I had faulty on oyster.. I used in in tube but after that I got into bus it didn't work.. but we went beck to the tube station and it said I had £ 10.55..
ihminen :D exact same problem here mate, faulty in the bus, good to go on the tube with £15.20 in it
Well if you jump the gates at one of the terminals on a train or tube it won't let you use the bus
EpilepticRabbit thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind next time I jump a gate ;-)
ihminen :D onko suomessaki oysteri card systeemii
invader eipä taida olla
But sometimes it aint always right, like once my oyster always worked and like when i put it on it beeped and turned red i tried again and it turned green
Kae You probably tapped it too quickly. That’s what happened to me a while back.
The oyster card is technology and sadly there are faults. I have had time where the oyster card has just stopped working.
Keep the receipt...and that's proof that you've got credit on your oyster!
DoubleDeckerAnton What if you have a child oyster?
saaj90 my daughters oyster stopped working, wouldn't beep, was in her school uniform coming back from the library and the bus driver wouldn't let her on.
I could understand if she wasnt wearing uniform because it can be hard telling a teenagers age.
On the up side though, I rang up tfl because I forgot the email details of the web account to use to order another one, spoke to a gentleman, he's sending out a new one free of charge instead of having to pay the administration fee.
No need to keep the receipt because the computer is never wrong.
DoubleDeckerAnton Sometimes they don't print
It's a computer. Computers fail. It's that simple! I've been told by the system that there isn't enough money on my Oyster, when I know that there is on more than one occasion. Also been told that the card is no longer valid, then tapped it again and it was accepted. The Oyster card reader is NOT always right.
Every time you beeped the oyster my guineapigs started purring 😂😂
What if you have a 16+ oyster where you get free bus travel. There has been a few times where i have gone into negative funds and the card reader said insufficient funds even though i get free bus travel
Good question! The rules say that if you have a negative balance, you are required to pay it off before you can use _any_ further transport, regardless of whether you're usually entitled to it free of charge.
Yeah this happened to me as well, went in negative money and oyster reader went red
Driver plzzzzzz let me on 😭😭😭😭😭
That Yorkshire Bus Driver ...lol 😂🤣
One thing I'll like to add... Is when bus drivers take the pi*ss and drive off without stopping at an bus stop when Clearly a arm has been waved high up in the air as a 'Sign' to Stop so passangers can board the bus. Now a days drivers are so Blind and don't see signals, its like we have to shoot a air gun in the air just to get the drivers attention to Stop. This happened to me several times and because of that reason I was late for work. That's just taking the mick honestly, just Do your Jobs Properly and we'll be a Satisfied well behaived customer, pffhh
Syed Ahmed Funnily enough this is the first video I saw of his in my recommended, so stop trying to be a smartass. You said “just do your jobs properly” on HIS video. So clearly you’re directing anger towards him.
Syed Ahmed stfu
E M I love you too hun
Syed Ahmed not once in your rant is the word some, leading us to believe you mean all
Its so funny that it shows you don't have any Bars to spray because your so Weak, you have the most DEADEST comment to reply with. Charlie Sloth won't even have you on for a second. Throwing the Racist card is the most WEAKEST. Face it you don't have any solid jokes, your Rubbish. If your gonna step to me at least respond with something I can be entertained about! And from looking at your profile image, your Brown too you Dumb Ass, Afro or Caribbean, so your kursing your own people. Seems like you can take a Monkey out of the Jungle but you can't take the Jungle out of the Monkey! Lmfao P.S. your mum loves my Banana Curry. I'm sure your mums part of the Windrush so you all getting deported so I understand why your angry. there there don't worry dude =D
i dont mean this as a bad thing but your wallet looks like a meatball
Clayton 72 ....lol...yes it's small enough to just fit my cards...
Actually it can be wrong
I mean Ive had so many issues with faulty oyster card or the macine not reading
...Yes it does happen...it could do with being updated to a newer model but this current machine is contracted for many more years!
Interestingly, the system is not perfect. I usually travel with a contactless card. No problems checking in. No problems checking out. And the journey is registered in TfLs app. But when revenue controllers board the bus, or train, they can’t read my card. It’s happened several times. Fortunately, they have believed me when I say that the card has been accepted at check in and check out. Have others experienced this?
Wrong. computers are wrong a lot. Always try twice before giving up as it could be a computer problem
Mine did the double beep pressed it a second time it worked
What happens if that happens to a zip card bc it happened to my new zip card bc I’m 11 and then the driver kicked me out of the bus even thought u don’t top up zip card
...hi joy...always explain your situation to the driver when you board the bus! That way the driver will help you! A lot of young people try to walk on the bus and to try and 'outsmart' the driver which then causes issues/arguments...!!!
Cobblers, computers can be wrong. I have been double charged (and no, I did not double tap) at Paddington, when I got to Chalk Farm, my oyster was empty. Lucky the history on the card indicated the issue and I got a refund.
DoubleDeckerAnton some have no money on their card and the driver still let them on
Goaheadlondonfan Rblx Proton & More .....yes at the drivers discretion...they can be given a unpaid fare report....if they are vulnerable or the driver thinks they have a reason to board the bus!
DoubleDeckerAnton my contactless bank card wouldnt let me tap in, I quickly loaded up my internet banking to show my account was in credit and that it wasn't just beeping because there was no money, the driver had to fill out a pink form.
+DoubleDeckerAnton you're giving me ideas Anton😈
I wish this system of contactless payment was adopted all over the UK. It would be a lot easier and less stressful for drivers not having to mess about with change. It would be safer meaning driver has no cash and isn’t likely to get robbed. It would be better for passengers who’ve only got notes and haven’t got loose change. Seriously it’s time all public buses went cashless. You can use contactless debit/ credit card, mobile app, or an Oyster card system. Better for everyone.
Exactly man
Or whip out your contactless debit card... bleepy bleepy
If your card is rejected on a station ticket barrier it shows a reject number. These are called POD codes, POD standing for Passenger Orientated Display. Common ones are 94 (please try again / bad read), 36 (not enough money), 35 (season ticket but you've travelled outside of the ticket zones giving you a negative balance). Not sure if the buses show a number but it'll be the same principle. There are loads of POD codes covering paper tickets, contactless, oyster and ITSO (national rail) cards
As a Oyster ZIP car user, sometimes the machines do reject cards even though I have money on it, and busses are free anyway. After a few re-taps it usually works
Timothy Meyer press it flat and hold
What do you think I've been doing? But seriously these machines do sometimes flash red for no reason. Im just pointing out that if it flashes red, try again just to check if the machines malfunctioning
Timothy Meyer nope. Your cards faulty
Well... it works after a few tries so it still works, mostly. I just thought the readers on busses are buggy, since it never happens on tubes or trains.
"The computer is never wrong"
3:11 clocks him in again even though he's on the bus lmfao
A computer can never be 100% reliable, there will be faults
1:01 is where the best part begins.
This is true! This happens to schoolkids as well and it can delay the journey!
Sam Rogers ...we make sure schoolkids get to and from school...!!!
It's not good to leave a child at the side of the road...especially in the cold dark of winter!
Really appreciate that Anton. As a school kid (in uniform) I used to get so worried if I couldn't find my pass, my school was really brutal about lateness and it really came down to 50/50 if I'd be let on the bus. I'm not sure what the procedure is since I've been told different things by different drivers.
well if ZIP card(Oyster cards for School children) are not working drivers just let you on or ask to see the card to prove that is you since after all kids do travel for free on buses
They travel free. If they have a pass. Seniors also travel for free, if they have a freedom pass. My grandparents are seniors, but they live in Germany. When they come for visits they can't just say that they have a pass when they don't. If you lose or your ZIP gets stolen, get a normal oyster. Free travel is a privilege, not a right. other councils like charge parents hundreds every term for their children to enjoy the same privilege.
London Buses i'm guessing youre talking about children under 6 years old because here in west midlands everyone else pays except over 65s. 16 year olds here pay £2.40 for a single fare its ridiculous.
1:16: I topped up this morning i put £5 on! Driver! i topped up honest! Believe me!!
As a driver one of the biggest issue I have is those that were clearly sitting at the bus stop for a while because on approach to the bus stop you can see who is there and they are also looking at the bus and as the bus is approaching they get up, rush infront of everyone get on the bus and then stand there fumbling around in their bag looking for their oyster then holding everyone up and some of them then have this issue after they do find their oyster where it is saying not enough money and yet still they are wasting further time and holding everyone by continuously tapping their oyster.
Other issues are those who ring the bell or put out their hand last minute and those that when you stop and open the doors stay seated upstairs especially until they hear the door closing sound and alot of them still stroll downstairs to get off.. really annoying.
That's very rude. I know that feeling.
Ro W As a driver, I thought it's only me lol.
Nah man, it really is annoying. When your running early it is not so bad but when you are running late and your at the bus stop, nothing is coming and these selfish able bodied passengers are taking ages to get off the bus and by the time they do all the traffic is flowing and then no one wants to let you out and now you have to sit behind everyone. My blood really boils inside as I get it alot on the 341s or those who either ring the bell when your right ontop of the bus stop or those that sit at the bus stop playing with their phone or generally not paying attention or even standing behind the advert at the bus shelter on their phones as if bus drivers have x ray vision and your doing 15-25mph (depending on road speed limit) and expect you to suddenly stop to let them on/off. Or those that when your serving the stop they are standing there staring at you, staring at the bus no interest in getting on it would seem until you close the doors then oh all of a sudden they want to get on.
Ro W ....lol 😂...yes it happens to me a lot....there are so many different types of passenger. ...ones that are alert and clued in...and others that expect the 'red carpet treatment'.
It tests my patience!
The public have no 'awareness/public information videos' on these matters...and so thats why I do these short videos....as it's a way for me to relieve stress...lol 😂...& for me to get the message across via a funny informative video!
I believe these videos done in the right manner will finally reach the public in time (we need 100s of drivers from all different backgrounds/cultures to vlog similar videos to the mainstream public).
I see so many drivers stressed out....its my way of contributing to this ongoing problem!
Ro W ....
yes Ro W....I feel it's an issue that is not going to go away until public knowledge of 'how to flag a bus and board a bus and alight a bus' is put across for them to see what all the drivers are experiencing!
Its technology of course things can go wrong
Count how many times he says obviously
obviously
Oyster isnt right recently.... not our fault.
Mine would often get the red light even though it was a free travel card so these things do mess up sometimes.
nah ive had it turn red several times only to turn green on the second or third attempt... how did i know i had credit? i didn't. it was a 16+ card but I'm pretty sure if it can mess up and then work with that it can do it with regular cards too. sometimes its that u moved ur card away too fast or something interfered.
“The computer’s never wrong”
Here in Warwickshire, pathetic Stagecoach is always wrong. You see, this is why we get receipts if we top up our Smart Cards… for proof if this were to happen.
Whatever company you work for, let them know to make it a thing where passengers should get receipts when they top up their Oyster. The machine could sometimes be wrong! 😏🤔
In Sydney the readers seem to just fail 1 in 10 times for no apparent reason. Card doesn't even have to be in a wallet for that to happen.
Wheezle211 ...it's hard to understand computers! They are supposed to run smoothly!
Hopefully in time they will be more intelligent!
hello mate.
what about when someone used bank card. It's say payment unstable. What does this mean.
Passenger always said they got money in there bank account.
what is your reaction?.
Faarhaad Rajabalee ....the ticket inspectors have told me it's foolproof and that passengers are at fault....passengers use more on their card than they think...and they are low on funds!
DoubleDeckerAnton what will be your reaction.
send them off. Because nowadays Passengers don't understand.
Faarhaad Rajabalee ...not sure about the band card 'unstable'....
I don't know why the bank cards are different from the oyster...
unstable means...?
DoubleDeckerAnton I think he means 'unusable'? This comes up on the ETM sometimes and is nothing to do with whether or not they have money in their bank account. The Oyster system is not that intelligent that it can spy into anyone's account and see what their bank balance is at the touch of their debit card. It simply means that the card itself is faulty. Either it is not a contactless card or hasn't been activated with the bank.
Well let the passenger travel for free. As we are the driver, only drive the bus. 😀.
sometimes I use contactless, Whenever I had money on the card it simply *did not work*. Maybe Tfl blocked it or something but it wound up being a total inconvenience to me
Jexolour ....yes...there are issues that confuse me at times!
I'm not sure why this happens.
The system needs to be smarter!
Good video but systems do have faults
