You are not doing your best.

A travel expert!

How and where do you obtain an Oyster Card?

Can they be obtained at City Airport and Euston?

Answer needed by two people in the next hour.

You can buy them at all railway stations I think, also many newspaper shops
etc, ones with a blue Oyster sign in the window. Probably somewhere in the
airport too.
£3 I think for an empty card, plus whatever you put on for travel. Works
well for buses and tube but not yet for surface trains (which are mostly in
South London)
Hope I made the 1 hour limit!

Please explain that.
I gave an answer to a reasonable question about TFL Oyster cards.
Why was the question a troll?
