METRO - A speedy way to get around Prague,
the Prague Metro or Underground is clean and efficient.
In October 2004, there are two types of tickets an
8 crown ticket (about 20p) for four stops of the Prague
Metro, and 12 crown tickets (about 30p) for any longer
Metro journey.
Before you set out on your journey, check your Prague
Metro Map (See Maps Section) – note
the last station in the direction you want to go (so
you don’t end up heading the wrong way). You
can buy tickets in any Metro Station, your hotel,
etc. You can buy the tickets in advance of your journey,
just stick it in the ticket validating machine as
you start your journey and the ticket will be date
and time stamped.

TRAMS may be a little slower but a marvellous
way to get around – you can see much more. Each
tram stop gives a list of stops for each tram route,
a timetable for it (absolutely accurate). For trams
you need a 12 Kc ticket and again there’ll be
a yellow ticket machine where you get on. As you wait
for your tram, count the stops to your destination.
PRAGUE
BUS - As Prague’s Metro (underground
system) and Tram Service are so good, buses are not
used that often. Prague Bus Service mainly covers
the outskirts of the city. Prague’s bus service
is quite regular during the day with buses running
from 5am in the morning until around midnight every
day. Bus fares are also very cheap. Prague also has
‘Night Buses’ which run from midnight
to 5am in the morning when the day buses have stop
and have buses every half hour or so.
