Activity 1

- Requirements to hire a bike in London.

The requirements to hire a bike in London are basicaly to pay a certain amount of money and return it on the period in which it was hired. In the case of the public bike sharing scheme, Santander Cycles, they give access to the bikes for 24 hours just for £2,and people can also hired them for a whole year by paying £90. Santander Cycles are emphatic with docking the bikes in the docking stations across the city while they are not being used.


- What's Oyster?


Oyster is a system that provides electronic smartcards to turists and visitors, so they no longer need to use money to travel in London's public transportation. Oyster cards come fully charged with credit and to use them turists have to touch the card on the yellow card reader at the gates at the start and the end of their journey.


- Is there a train system?

Yes, besides the London underground there is an overground rail services on six routes around the city. Oyster cards also can be use in this kind of transportantion.
