London Oyster Card

After reading about the Oyster card for the Tube, we decided it would be the best bet for our 3 day stay. One question: Can I get just one card and put 10-20 pounds on it and have both of us use it? (eg: one scans card and passes it back to the other to scan) Or do we need a card for each person?
Thank you.

No, you each need your own card unless you are traveling at separate times.

Steve, as Swan mentioned, you'll EACH need to have an Oyster Card. I suspect if you try the "Pass Back" routine, you'll get nicked by the authorities very quickly! The deposit is only £3.00 plus whatever fare you decide to add, so it's not really that expensive.

Happy travels!
