      Just if tourists knew how to behave in the City transportation/ any similar public one. Like not to drink, and eat, give the seat, be quiet, not to change soiled diapers during transportation, guard the animals short of move...
      MANY OF Those kids who grew up transported by the special school buses do have the egoistic cultural deprivation for the rest of life. I want to be wrong, but THESE tourists most often speak fluent English.

The app has also all the travel and planning information you need. Public transport is really really good in Prague. In the past even most of my family worked (in)directly for the Prague public transport.

    In Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria, the ticketing system is entirely cashless and paperless. There are digital contactless POS devices on each bus, trolleybus and tram, as well as the entrances to the metro system, where you just tap your credit/debit card. Alternatively, you can buy a special card for the public transit system and transfer money to it, but I never actually bothered to do that since I can just use my debit card. Idk, I just love how surprisingly efficient and forward-thinking the system is.

    I am over 70 and enjoyed riding Prague transit for free for seven days. I kept my passport handy but was only asked to see it once on the bus from the metro to the Aviation Museum. On my last metro ride to the airport to come home the inspectors had detailed someone who did not properly validate their ticket. They were pointing to the printing on the ticket but it was in the wrong location, so they probably had to pay the fine.

I was just checking yesterday to see if my polish friend’s kid can ride free. Well, she could, she is not even 3YO. Also very useful info is that with full day ticket and longer you can ride the furnicular for free. You don’t need to wait a line for a ticket.

I really only use my local Ventra card in Chicago but cards I have from my trips like Hong Kong or Mexico City have cool designs and are a nice, sturdy souvenir. I think in time these will be phased out as apps become more widespread so I am trying to go out of the way to collect them, even if it is not cost effective.
    I have seen the plastic version of the Litaćka cards in Google image search, but they often have a photo of the cardholder on the back, I am assuming this system requires a permanent Czech address or would otherwise only be available to locals / students or something like this.
    Does Litaćka offer any sort of plastic card?
