Public Transport Tickets

Category: Transport

You need to buy a ticket before you board a bus, tram or metro. Tickets are sold from machines at metro stations and tram stops, at newsstands, snack shops, newspaper kiosks, hotels, Prague tourist information offices and metro station ticket offices. Tickets are valid on tram, metro, bus and the Petřín funicular.

Public transport tickets can be used on any type of public transportation and allow transfers between lines (subway to subway, tram to tram, etc.) and types of transport (subway to tram, tram to bus, etc.) for up to 30 minutes (24 CZK) from validation for short ride tickets and 90 minutes (32 CZK) for long ride tickets. You can also buy tickets valid for 24 hours (110 CZK) and three days (310 CZK). Again, these must be validated on first use only; if a ticket is stamped twice, it becomes invalid. With these tickets, you don’t need to pay an extra fare for your luggage. Being caught without a valid ticket entails a 800 CZK on-the-spot fine (200 CZK for not having a luggage ticket). The plain-clothes inspectors travel incognito, but will show a red-and-gold metal badge when they ask for your ticket. A few may demand a higher fine from foreigners and pocket the difference, so insist on a receipt before paying.
