Mike’s notes
Prague is a tram city emotionally and a metro city practically. The metro is fast, clean, and easy to use. The trams make the city feel like Prague.
For visitors, Line A matters for castle-side movement and airport bus transfers, Line B for old-town edges, and Line C for Hlavní nádraží and north-south movement. The airport still requires bus-plus-metro planning.
Use PID Lítačka or normal tickets and validate correctly. Prague ticket inspection is not theoretical.
