Public Transport Tickets
Tickets are standardized so that they can be used on either public transport mean (tram, bus, metro) and are available at Info centres and ticket machines. The price for a ticket is as follows:
90 min = 32 CZK (≃ 1.23 eur)
30 min = 24 CZK (≃ 0.92 eur)
1 day (24h) = 110 CZK (≃ 4.23 eur)
3 days (72h) = 310 CZK (≃ 11.93 eur).
When transporting luggage with dimensions of 25 × 45 × 70 cm or more, an additional luggage ticket is required (price CZK 16, ≃ 0.62 eur).
The time and zone validity of the ticket for the luggage is the same as the time and zone validity of the ticket of the passenger who carries the luggage, with a maximum validity of 300 minutes.
Note
The currency used in the Czech Republic is the Czech koruna (1 EUR ≃ 26 CZK, as of November 2018). Please be careful where you exchange money (check the rate and commission)!
Remember keeping the tickets on you until the ride is over or, in the case of metro transportation, until you reach the surface area (sometimes the controllers are checking the validity of the tickets at the exits).
