I just moved to Prague and the public transportation is actually the best I’ve ever used in my life!
It's hard to ever see better public transport when there's only one better in the whole world and we don't even know where it is.🙂
@ that's basically still within the Prague urban area.😏

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.
you guys have clearly never hear of Vienna 😊
02:04 please note that with a 24-hour ticket, a passenger can transport 1 luggage for free so there’s no need to purchase an additional 20 CZK luggage ticket.
It's disappointing Janek didn't mention this when he should better than most of us
@@garfieldandfriends1 Yes, this very useful piece of information always seems to be overlooked in the Prague travel videos that I’ve seen.
what about the 72 hours one?
@@nicschintee1511 From the PID website: ‘Passenger that owns a ticket valid for 1 or more days can transport one piece of luggage (or a dog) for free (except trains).’ So, yes, the 72-hour ticket allows you to carry one big piece of luggage during the 72 hours.
Hello, what if I have 2 different suitcases? I assume that I need to get 1 extra ticket for that :D Thank you
Za všechny řidiče autobusů/tramvají a celé MHD děkuji za toto video ! :) moc nám tímto pomůžete !
I've visited Prague in 2019 and have used the public transport daily, for a week.
I have to give praise to Google Maps, because it was 100% ACCURATE in regards to departures and time consumption for any of the available routes.
I also should mention that if I was presented with the information given at 1:25, I wouldn't have been fined 50€ trying to scam the system LOL.
I have been in Prague for 3 days and trying to come across with you. thanks for everything. today i got a ticket inspection but there was no problem cause i had validated it already:)) we are leaving tmr. thanks a million.🎉🎉🎉
Tohle je mimochodem skvělé video i pro nás. Díky moc! ❤ Vůbec jsem netušil, že jízdné lanovkou na Petřín a zpět stojí 120 Kč, což je přesně cena 24hodinové jízdenky po Praze, která v podstatě pokryje i tu lanovku... Díky za super tip, který nám ušetří peníze. 😉
hlavně je rychlejší jít pěšky než stát frontu s těma lidma co se jenom chtěj projet lanovkou 😀 bohužel často tam jdu s někym kdo prostě odmítá jít do kopce a tak musim to čekání ve frontě přetrpět 😀
@@Pidalin přitom ta cesta je na Petřině to nejlepší a ty výhledy…
Janek, you’re such a fun host! I love your videos.
I think the most important thing is to really make sure that everybody understood that you HAVE TO VALIDATE the ticket.. 9/10 times that I see in the metro people getting a fine... its because they bought it.. but they didnt validate!!!
Hmm I bought tickets from TrainPal and they require that..
I'm going to Prague in May, and thanks to Your Videos i know much more about this city :)
Ho ho ho? Honest Vlog is now Like a Local? I'm ready for Honest Vlog 2.0!
Skvělý video kluci! Honest Vlog has transformed into a Like a Local! And I like it!❤🙌🏼
Dude awesome. I love how you give tips so easy to understand. I’ll be in Prague in a few days with my mom who is over 65 years old and this video helped!!!
First comment on the new video on this “new channel” 😀
I have already been to Prague and I can vouch that of all the videos I saw on Prague's public transport, this one is the best - everything you need to know!!!
Heading to Prague for a conference later this year. This video is VERY helpful for anyone who doesn't know the system or even speak a word of Czech.
I have used the app for the last couple of years and it is by far the easiest way to buy tickets. Super easy app to use, fast and reliable.
I have an online ticket from pid litacka and I bought it with the option to activate it later. How and when should I activate the online ticket?
@@bukala9987 Before you start using any public transport. So a few minutes before using the metro or subway.
Yea is it a new channel?! Haha :) nice addition though honest guides!! And thanks for putting the badge in the video.
Agree on the 3day ticket. Very convenient. Saw a bunch of the ticket checkers going out Hlavnì Nádrazì station. They were lined-up to check everyone 😅
Thanks for the information!, concice and to the point
Ay...so very nice to see this channel active again... great content 🎉😊
This was very helpful. Visiting Prague next week. Many thanks. 👍
Thanks. Your information is very helpful. I’m Czech- Australian over 65 and now I know that I can travel for free . See you in Prague
Very good tips, especially mentioning the litačka app, because many other travel videos of Prague forget this option. It is the only way of paying when I'm travelling in Prague and so conveniant. 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.
Try TrainPal. They cover it all so need to worry and they’ve got promos.
@paulterpstra6705 If I travel to Prague because I am 67 years old I don’t need to buy a ticket? And don’t need a ticket for my luggage? Thanks a lot
@mis.visiones No, you just need to identify yourself with an ID or passport in metro, tram or bus.
amazing info. greetings from mexico!
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.
Sofia is amazing , I am Brazilian
Headed to Prague from Helsinki and this video was super helpful!
Excited to see a new video!
Very informative! Thanks. Heading to Prague tomorrow and this makes it easier.
Love this. Heading to Prague on Friday for 4 days and will defo need this!!
such a wonderful information again, so grateful for your Honest Guide videos! A request: could you please do a video focused on European seniors (60 plussers)? I know there are some benefits of the public transport but I don't know all of them and I guess there must be other benefits too.
One more thing! It takes two minutes for a ticket to activate in your app once you click to start using it.
Nice guide Janek!
That’s what I done the other day dead easy and helpful thanks for your advice on using transport to the city from the airport. I had a good time in Prague I was there from Monday 1st to Wednesday 3rd May.
유익한영상 감사합니다
Tvl další investorský kanál, buy, buy, buy. :D
perfectly said. Thanks 🤘
The best!!! thank you so much!
Hope to see more on basics for tourists.
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.
Just got here and I’m a little worried abut the area. The homeless have been rude to the tourist. You did give me a great suggestion for a restaurant from your food blogs.
Thank you great information
Good stuff!
Hi guys. I love your videos and I love Prague. But when I go to another city I can’t find the kind of videos you make. So can you guys please partner up with other guide in other city’s so every city is getting more honest.
Thank you
Rens
Yes new video
I love Prague. I also have Prague's picture on my phone. The transport is unique, so easy to use it. Especially the underground. ❤
I am more interested in getting the physical litacka card, I wouldn’t mind seeing a video on that and it’s usage.
za vše toto je top channgel
People 6-15 still need some sort of confirmation by local authority. In fact just kids visiting some Prague school or sport club for example can ride free. 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.
Thought I was watching a Blippie video for a second! 😂
May not go to you r country, but I love your videos.
and a Czech word at the end: Pokuta
Great video, planning a trip this year as my last try was cancelled the week Covid hit :( More hints and tips please👊
Please make a similar video for Brno. Your video would be the best and most accurate. The ones i found are not even clearly understandable. Im moving to Brno soon and wanted some similar videos abt transport or rental or life in Brno. Thanks
Please note if you want the sight seeing discounts you need the physical litacka card. Only the ticket in the app is not enough
Honza No. 1
I be here in Prague in two weeks now and i buy photo card for 610czk for a month not bad at all 🙂 so easy to jump on and off
Can you do a video about parking in Prague? What do all of the signs mean? Where is the safest? Cheapest? My friend told me that sometimes drug runners target out of country license plates an might plant drugs under your car and then follow you to your home country. Is that really a thing?
Hi Janek, your videos are simply amazing and make first time travelers so much confidence and reassurance! Could you please discuss the details of the long term (30-day unlimited) pass? Can tourists apply for it using their ID like passport? Thank you!
I tried TrianPal and tickets are not that complicated.
Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Oh boy, Copenhagen has SOOO much to learn from Prague =(
Copenhagen is totally fine! S-Tog, metro, even buses are a blessing. I already forgot the exact tickets and prices, but they were reasonable. Next June I will have a chance to remind myself.
When I had a part-time job there, I had monthly renewed rejsekort and an old bicycle did not worry about anything at all. The only downside I noticed is they apparently reduced some trains from Hoje-Taastrup to city center recently.
I was in Belgrade last week. Can you make a Video of how to buy a Bus ticket there. It is Not possible, not kidding.
I totally agree hahaha I got funny experience over there
I remember buying metro tickets, at the "Relay" store. Is that still an option? Is Prague ever going to adopt a re-loadable permanent card, like Paris, or Dublin?
Great video but I have a question about what the easiest way from the train station to the city center is. This has always been the area I feel I am getting scammed. I wish you would make a video on that subject.
15 min walk you are in the center
Hi, thank you very much for your tips, For 5 days in Prague, is it better to have a weekly metro pass or a 3-day bus pass?
We bought a ticket in the airport but the ticket didn’t come. What should we do?
I would recommend buy ticket from the office in the airport.
Can I buy a ticket in a metro machine, walk for a while and validate it only when I got on the tram???
Does the luggage ticket also need to be validated in the bus? Also thanks a lot for this video and all other videos they are very informative.
Hola, excelentes todos tus videos, que estado viendo porque viajo próximamente a Praga. Me podrías explicar si con éstos tickets puedo viajar desde el centro de Praga hasta la estación central de trenes? De antemano, muchas gracias por tu respuesta.
You should've talked about where the tickets cover.
Hi, do we show the ticket to the driver or something?
Prague has one of the best forms of public transportation? Zurich and the rest of Switzerland found shaking.
So you get the ticket and you can literally take any transport without having to show it? Obvi unless asked by someone
to late for me. When i was in Prague i didnt know how to buy a ticket and at the places in the city where i was and want to take public transport there were no machines to buy a ticket so i didnt know how to get one. I ended up taking a few trams without a ticket until i found out that you can buy a ticket at a machine inside the tram and then i did that and had at least a ticket for the rest of the day
This country seems to be god own country superb transport system
Amazing information.. Could please clarify these queries: (1) for 90 mins ticket, could you please let me know the meaning of 4 zones ? (2) Does the Forex card (which has EURO) works at the ticket machines?
You guys should definitely make a similar video about the public transport of Brno. It's a little different (better in some aspects), and despite the lack of a metro line, it's very well-connected.
Can 65+ tourist from all over the world ride public transport free?
İn Türkiye is free
Please let me know if i need to buy a ticket for my 8 and 10 yo kids.
On the machines can I buy a senior ticket? (age 60-65)?
Short and informative video as always. I have seen your video about Atm cash withdrawal where u advise " to decline Atm conversion charges" because our home bank conversion charges would be cheaper.
Now when we buy a travel pass or ticket - do we get an option to decline conversion?and/or what is the currency conversion % used by the automated ticket machine in prague. Is it as high as 12% ??
For kid ID, can we show a picture/photo of her passport? is that acceptable?
Prague is a beautiful city just a pity that the airport is not connected to a train or metro line. Taking a (overcrowded) bus and then transferring somewhere to a metro to Prague is quite a hassle as a tourist.
If during one day I use bus and tram and buy 90 min ticket, should I buy ticket for my luggage twice? Or one ticket for luggage for two types of transports is ok?
If you buy the 3 days lasting ticket, when do you validate it?
Can a single adult carry 24, or 72-hour tickets for two adults? My daughter and I are traveling together and I purchased two tickets on my mobile app.
I am curious - I enjoy collecting the plastic, reloadable metro cards. 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?
Whether other country passport , will be agreed as valid ID for Kids Age? In Prague public transport..?
What if I stay more than 3 days? Do I just buy 2 3 day ticket? Do I need the luggage for a carry on? Cheers
Hello,
Do we need to validate somwhere if using the app and tickets activated(in the app), please?
Thanks!
Can you buy an airport express ticket from those machines?
I have an online ticket from pid litacka and I bought it with the option to activate it later. How and when should I activate the online ticket?
Can you buy tickets in the city center too or just the airport?
Thank you! But please help! How long does the "baggage" option last? There is no time next to it.
**Funicular is covered by the 24 or 72 hr ticket..30,90min ticket is not longer valid for Funicular..you mist buy a separate ticket
Thanks you very much. I live in Prague and never known about the baggage ticket as am usong Litačka 550czk for month … does that have the baggage counted in 🤔
Does the app Litacka works outside of Prague? E.g. if I go to Kutna Hora and Cesky Krumlov
You’re so adorable!!! 😍
Edit: it was a disappointment
Thank you for this I'm going to Prague this summer!
Is there a reason why the ticket is printed in the bus? Ticket controllers can't check your payment without it?
I never knew that I had to buy an extra ticket for luggage. So when I went to the airport, I did not buy it. It seem strange to me.
Can I purchase a ticket before and just validate on the day I intend to use it?
