Commuter tickets
Ready to start loving your commute? Find the ticket that’s right for you and save money while you sail through rush hour and soak in the city’s sights.
Pay as you go with Oyster or contactless
Pay for single journeys with contactless or Oyster card for pay as you go. You can also buy tickets in advance through our website, app and the Uber app. It’s convenient and up to 23% cheaper than buying a paper ticket at the pier.
Oyster readers are located next to the boarding point on the pier. When instructed to do so by a member of staff, touch in with your Oyster or contactless payment card and touch out when you disembark, including at interchanges, to ensure you pay the correct fare.
If your Oyster card is linked to a Transport for London (TfL) Travelcard, you will automatically receive ⅓ off.

Season tickets for daily commuters
If you plan to use our services every day, season tickets offer you the best value for money.
You can buy season tickets for weekly, monthly or annual unlimited travel and save up to 70%* compared to making two journeys per day and paying as you go with an Oyster/ contactless payment card. This can work out as little as £1.57** per journey with our annual option.
And by committing to an annual rather than buying monthly season tickets, over a 12-month period this could effectively save you the cost of more than three months’ travel***
You may be surprised by just how favourably we compare on season ticket travel. Check your journey here.
