Once you have KeyGo on your Key Smartcard, all your entry and exit taps across the network will be analysed to calculate the best day fare for your journeys based upon the tickets you could have purchased that day. KeyGo will then charge the most appropriate ticket(s) for the journeys you made that day against your nominated payment card.
If you hold a Season ticket on your Key Smartcard, KeyGo will only charge you for the journeys you make beyond Season ticket's validity.

The best day fare offer is based on tickets that can be bought on the day of travel. KeyGo fares are based on paper equivalent tickets defined as Peak, Off-Peak Day, Super Off-Peak Day single, and Day return. This applies to 'Any Permitted', 'Southern only', 'Thameslink only' routes, and Oyster fares for journeys made wholly within the London zones 1-6.
Where journeys occur within the London zones 1-6, journeys will be Price Matched with the equivalent Oyster fare, Travelcard price for journeys, or national Rail fare that begin or end outside the London area. This includes daily capped fares.
Journeys made on Gatwick Express and services between Merstham and Gatwick Airport will be charged the National Rail fare.
Use KeyGo on Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Southern and Thameslink services as shown on the KeyGo map. Touch in and out on the card reader as you travel to ensure your journeys are calculated correctly.
KeyGo can also be used on Great Western services between Redhill and Dorking Deepdene and between Warblington and Brighton.
