To buy tickets, you can do so at either the yellow machines at the metro stations, major bus stops, from news stands, or from the City Transport Authority Information Offices. If you do decide to buy them from the machine, there is an "English" button so you know what you are buying.

The entire transportation net work is extremely dense but most of the roots link up to buses to make it easy to get around. If yo u are looking for timetables and more information check out www.idos.cz. Some of the ticket prices are listed on the site as well. If you are going to travel remember that train is usually slower but more comfortable and buses are cheap plus sometimes faster. For the intercity coaches you buy the ticker from the driver and for trains, at the station or at www.ed.cz. Prices are 2019

When it comes to actually purchasing a ticket, the colours, categories, and zones can get confusing - look at the price. For example if you want a transfer ticket and you are an adult, look for the "32 KC" under the "Transfer" or "Plnocena" heading. Or if you want a child ticket the look for the "16 KC" under the "Transfer' or "Plnocena" heading. Once you press the button next to the price you want, if you want more than one then press the button again. After you have the tickets you want, insert your money and out comes the ticket.
