Public Transport in Prague in general

Prague provides an extensive network of buses and trams and three lines A, B, and C of underground transport.

Short-term ticket (bus/tram/underground) costs:


Tickets can be bought in most underground stations at a ticket counter, from ticket machines, at most of the tobacco/newspaper shops or inside every tram (only by contactless credit/debit card). Tickets are not available from the driver except for buses (these tickets are slightly more expensive).
Please, always remember to validate (stamp) your ticket (in a yellow machine with a green arrow) when first entering the underground, bus, or tram. There is an exception with the ticket bought in a tram. This ticket should not be validated in the yellow machine with a green arrow. You should not validate your ticket again when making subsequent transfers.
