To get a monthly, quarterly or yearly pass for Prague's public transport, you don't even need to leave your house – everything can be done online.
How does it work?[edit]
Basically, you
- create an online account,
- link a card with a NFC chip (e.g. a credit card for contactless payments) to this account.
- Additionally, you upload your photo.
- Then, buy any ticket you like online.
When riding a metro, bus or tram, inspectors may check you. They will ask for your credit card, read the NFC chip and will see your uploaded photo – so they can confirm that you have a ticket.
