The Prague public transport system uses two
types of single-trip tickets:
• 30-minute ticket
Adults:
24 Kč
Children 6-15 years: 12 Kč
Children under 6: free
• 90-minute ticket
Adults:
32 Kč
Children 6-15 years: 16 Kč
Children under 6:
free
Both tickets can be used on any type of public transportation
and allow transfers between lines (subway to subway, tram
to tram, etc.) and transfers between different types of transport (subway to tram,
tram to bus, etc.) for up to 30/90 minutes from validation. The tickets can also be purchased via SMS by sending the text message "DPT24" or "DPT32"
to the number 902 06.
-------------------------------------------
Single and transfer tickets are sold
through yellow ticket vending machines (also in English,
coins only), at ticket offices located at some metro stations,
at a Tabák/Trafika,
at some newsstands, and at tourist information centers.
You can also buy tickets by using your mobile
phone and sending the text message "DPT24" or "DPT32"
to the number 902 06. Your ticket will usually be sent to your
phone within one minute.
A ticket must be punched at the entrance
to the metro station and on the tram/bus to mark the start
of the validation period. If you requested a ticket through an SMS, you must have received your ticket before you enter the vehicle or the paid zone on the subway.

passes available:
Passes can be used on any type of Prague
public transportation for the duration of the period for
