Student Travel Discounts
All 16-17-year-olds are able to apply for a 16+ Zip Oyster photocard in order to receive discounted or free travel on many Transport for London services. However, older students living within a London borough will also be eligible to receive 30% discount on travel with TfL via the 18+ Student Oyster card. As MPCT is registered with the scheme, all our qualifying London-based learners can apply for this, including students attending college outside Greater London but who live in a London borough during term time and travel regularly.
Who is eligible?
- You’re 18 or over
- Live in a London borough during term time
- Enrolled at a school, college or university registered on the TfL scheme – MPCT is one of these organisations.
