Czech Republic Buses

Traveling by bus is often the quickest and most direct way to get from one Czech town to another. It is also sometimes the only way (unless you have a car of course) because some Czech villages are not serviced by trains or their train stations are far enough from the residential areas to make the bus a better option.

You can look up bus schedules and connections for the Czech Republic and Europe at idos.cz. The results will show all available connections for your route. See "Useful dictionary" on the bottom of this page for some terms you may need.

There are many private bus companies that operate regular services. Keep in mind that the bus may be slower or more expensive than the train (and vice versa) - it is always best to compare both options. It should also be noted that unlike trains, almost no Czech buses are equipped with toilets and bathroom breaks are only made on long-distance trips, approximately every three hours.
