Londoners on Income Support, who are not already receiving any free or discounted travel concessions, may be able to travel for half price. They need an Oyster card, backed up by a photocard, which confirms they receive Income Support. The photocard is available from the post office.
The telephone number for more information is 0800 731 4564.

On p.11 it saysLondoners on Income Support can apply for a Bus & Tram Discount photocard to get half adult-rate Oyster single fares and Bus & Tram Pass season tickets. Adult fares are payable otherwiseNot much information on the website as yet:
