Using this card comes with secret perks. For example, you can now comfortably change your mind. Want to hop off at Oxford Circus to stare at a pretzel for ten minutes? Go for it. No extra charge. You’re a free-range human, not a travel prisoner.
Another hidden gem: you can use it on the Thames Clippers riverboat services at a 33% discount. That’s right—you get a boat ride for cheaper than a soggy sandwich. Ride the river, feel like a smug commuter on a James Bond speedboat, and laugh at the tourists paying full price for the Uber Boat.

Now, there’s a slight catch. You can’t use this card for National Rail trains that go outside Zone 2. You try tapping in at, say, Wimbledon, and the machine will look at you like you just asked it to dance the tango. Stick to the Tube, buses, and DLR, and you’re golden.
Also, don’t lose it. Losing a weekly card is like losing a winning lottery ticket—except the lottery is your commute. If you drop it, every homeless pigeon in Trafalgar Square will laugh at your panic. Keep it in a special pocket, or better yet, tape it to your hand.
