== Public transport ==
'''Always have a valid ticket when travelling by metro!''', unless you look like a Czech! Tourists are the biggest source of income for DPP (Prague public trans.), so the controllers are first to check those, who do not look like Czech citizens. They don't wear uniforms. The fine is 800 Kč (~32 €) if you will pay it on that place or till 15 days. Ticket for 30 minutes - 24 Kč (1 €), 90 minutes - 32 Kč (~1.30 €). If you plan to stay longer, you can buy a ticket for one day - 110 Kč (~4.50 €) or three days - 310 Kč (~12.60 €).
But rather then in buses, the controllers are near the stair. So if you see them, I advise to board the metro once again and get out on the next station. Some stations have several exits and sometimes controllers are only at one exit at the top of the stairs maybe. So try different exits. It's annoying and risky but doable.
'''User Dante1919:''' "I travelled with metro three days in prague with my backpack and etc. never saw any kind of control and never had troubles with it. mostly I was getting to central so called dangerous stations and nothing happened. as a master of black riding :) I can say,if you get caught just tell the controller that you are travelling without money and they will leave you alone. It worked for me in 5 different countries."
On metro stations you can find maps of Prague with public transport, this can be useful, because the lines are changing (especially bus lines). You can easily find a connection online at [http://jizdnirady.idnes.cz/pid/spojeni/ IDOS] - works for the entire CR or alternatively for Prague only: [http://idos.dpp.cz/idos/ConnForm.aspx?tt=pid&cl=E5 Idos/DPP].
