Public Transportation
A valid ticket which has been stamped with date and time is required for travel on public transportation in the Czech Republic, including all metros, trams and buses. You must validate (punch) your purchased ticket before descending the metro escalators or upon entering a tram or bus by inserting it into a machine. The machine will stamp your ticket with the date and the time of the start of your trip. If someone identifies himself as an inspector and you do not have a validated ticket, you will be subject to a fine on the spot. The Embassy does not provide legal advice or recommendations regarding issues with Prague Transport. For more information: https://www.dpp.cz/en.
