Prague Integrated Transport (Czech: Prask integrovan doprava, PID) run by a city-owned agency called Regional Organiser of Prague Integrated Transport (ROPID), is an integrated public transport system in Prague.

Prague Integrated Transport offers a unified ticketing system across all the different types of public transport services running in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region. PID also unifies regulations, route numbering plan, some parts of the information system, transfer facilities improving mixed-mode commuting, and also unified service subsidy system.[2]

Previously, the Prague mass transit system was called IDS (integrovan dopravn systm, integrated transport system). The modern name (prask integrovan doprava) was first used in 1993 as a part of the name of the ROPID organisation, which has also started using this name for the transport system itself.

The tickets are the same for all means of transport in Prague (metro, tramways, city buses, trains, Petn funicular and ferries) with the exception of SMS tickets in trains and short-term tickets (for 30 or 90 minutes) in the funicular.

City rail services are de facto monopolised by Dopravn podnik hl. m. Prahy, which operates all Prague tram and metro services, and the Petn funicular. To date, there have not been any realistic proposals of any other transporter to operate any services of this kind.

yes if you are 65 or over just show your passport if asked.I was last in Prague in the middle of April and checked with the staff at the airport transport desk. , just your passport is needed. if 60 -65 then you need a PIT card at a cost of 60kc plus a monthly pass cost of 160kc ( I think),.

"I don't know what a PIT card is. And where is the best place to purchase transport passes for younger people (not seniors)"

the link given by Texas TravelMon gives all the info you need.The Transport desks in T1 (non shengen arrivals) and T2 (Shengen arrivals) are best places top get the PIT cards but you do need a passpoert syle photo,card cost 60kc.

-of-points-of-sales, other places to get them are listed on this link.

I'll put my usual warnings. If you are 65 or older and claiming free transport then a ticket inspector will first establish if you are a Czech Resident (permit allows free transport if it shows you are 65 or older), if not, he will then establish if you are an EU citizen (National ID card allows free transport if it shows you are 65 or older). Finally you will be viewed as a foreigner in which case you MUST carry your passport to claim free travel. Note that people get caught out coming from the airport because although transport of a person is free for 65 or older etc, you still have to buy luggage tickets..........

For travel on PID trains within the territory of the Capital City of Prague, the right of seniors aged 70+ to special fares can only be verified through use of a recognized type of identification document (for example, a Ltaka card) or a PID-issued Senior 70+ ID card. No other types of age verification documents are valid for these special travel fares on PID trains. Free transport is not provided on the AE line.

Age 65-70 MUST pay on PID trains in prague:

Train lines that are included in the Prague integrated Transport (PID) system are labeled by letter S (or R) and a number, e.g. S1 or S88. These include typically passenger trains in Prague and surroundings. On these lines, PID tickets can be used. Long-distance fast trains are not integrated in the system.

Hi! I'll be traveling soon to Prague with friends. I've tried to look for advice in this subreddit and I've found really useful info. However, I don't quite understand how public transport works over there.

I've downloaded PID litacka app, but I don't know if I'll be able to use it. Must I have a transport card before using it or having the phone app will be enough? How do I activate the ticket? What do I do if an inspector arrives and wants to see my ticket? Do I show him the app that shows the ticket activated?

I was wondering if any locals can give some advice about how to take the public transport? Do I need to download an app to buy a ticket? Or can I buy the ticket on the tram/buss? Will they accept credit card, or must I have cash?

I bought a 3 day pass in Prague. On the back it says it's valid for zones P, 0, B. I have no idea where these zones are. On the internet, someone said it covers beyond the airport. But that doesn't mean transportation to the airport is covered. So is it? Can I get on the bus to the airport with this pass?

Recently, I spent the weekend in Prague. I had purchased a 24h transport ticket and validated it in my first visit using a Tram (at 10:45). At the end of the day, I was stopped in a metro station and asked for my ticket. I presented my ticket. They said I was using a ticket which was validated one week ago. I argued that I had bought the ticket on the day and even showed them a receipt which I received after purchase. They did not believe me and took me to another person who forced me to pay 800 Czech crowns as a fine. They said if I refused to pay, I would be taken to the police station.

Therefore you have the right to refuse payment on the spot and simply show them your passport. They are authorized to write down the details and issue you a fine, which you may pay (or contest) later on. They could only ask you to go to the police if you refuse to provide your passport/ID, at which point the police will find out your personal information. The ticket inspector is not authorized to use force, as he's merely an employee of the transport company rather than a police officer.

If the public transport agent insists on paying on the spot, I'd advise calling the police myself to sort it out, as it's likely that those people are scammers. Do not worry about issues with the police, they're much more pleasant than the ticket inspectors.

You can also purchase your tickets by SMS. Before entering one of the forms of transport, you can send a text message using a specific code and will receive a ticket confirmation in just a minute or two. The codes can be found here.

This line also runs from East-West, crossing with both the A and C metro trains near the city centre and making stops at sites such as Republic Square (Nmst Republiky), Charles Square, and more.

This service includes a 1-day all the way up to a 6-day public transport pass at no additional cost, and it also provides admission to dozens of popular attractions and activities such as the following:

Major transit projects are underway, including the construction of the Metro Line A set for completion at the end of the decade. In 2022, a new tram line was opened in the city's southern outskirts, and an additional 40 km are being prepared in the northern and south-eastern areas. A significant transformation will be marked by the reintroduction of trams to Wenceslas Square, the heart of the city centre. After a hiatus of 50 years, trolleybuses have made a comeback in Prague with over ten new lines under construction or in planning, including a route linking the airport with Metro Line A. Alongside expanding the network and modes of transport, the city is also modernising its infrastructure by replacing outdated bus shelters with innovative designs. Moreover, the pilot testing of a novel navigation system is actively being carried out across Prague's numerous stops and stations.

My name is Dana and I am Prague local. And you know what? I dont have a car. I only use public transport! I am also Prague guide running my small business called Prague Behind The Scenes. If you wish to see Prague downtown in a less touristy way, please feel free to drop me a line. Besides guiding I also enjoy writing about my hometown. Today about our trams, metro, tickets and original sightseeing experiences by Prague public transport.

So, how it works here? Prague public transport ticket system is very simple. Thanks god we have no zones! You dont even have to worry about changing the lines multiple times, or hopping from a tram to metro or try any other combinations. Just get a ticket and ride metro, tram, bus as much as you need.

We have two types of single tickets: for 30 minutes (price 30 CZK) or for 90 minutes (40 CZK). Within this timeframe you can use any type of Prague public transport even multiple times or change the means of transport as much as you wish.

SMS If you are using Czech SIM card while in Prague, you can also purchase your Prague public transport ticket via SMS. How to do it? Write in SMS: DPT42 or DPT31 or DPT120 or DPT330 and send it to number 902 06. In approx. two minutes you will receive your SMS ticket. What the abbreviations mean?

Online app You can also download Prague public transport app and buy your tickets as you go. This app is called PID Ltaka. Available for Apple / Android. Personally, I find it a bit confusing and not really 100% user friendly, but maybe it will work for you better.

What would be my choice? If I were a traveller and wanted to try Prague public transport, I would buy the 24-hour ticket for only 120 CZK (5 euro). Just to enjoy the freedom and the funicular rides:-) 006ab0faaa
