New PID Tariff from 1 January 2026: Don’t pay more than you have to
Naposledy aktualizováno: 31. 12. 2025 | Publikováno 19. 11. 2025
From 1 January 2026, a new Prague Integrated Transport (PID) tariff will come into effect. The changes will mainly affect fare prices – there will be an increase in the price of single journey tickets in Prague and the outer zones, and also in the price of season tickets in the outer tariff zones. The price of season tickets within Prague will remain unchanged.
There will be new benefits for purchasing travel documents via the PID Lítačka mobile app and for electronic season tickets for the outer zones through the e-shop: eshop.dpp.cz or www.pidlitacka.cz.
Prague will now be counted as 3 tariff zones (previously 4 zones), which will soften the impact of price increases for cross-border journeys between Prague and the Central Bohemian region. The new tariff also brings several changes to rail transport and an increase in surcharges for travelling without a valid ticket. The range of discount categories remains unchanged.
New ticket prices in Prague
The main change is the increase in the price of single tickets and their discount when purchased through the PID Lítačka app.
Tourist tickets for 24 and 72 hours will also become more expensive, and it will also be more advantageous to buy these electronically.

New prices in the Central Bohemian region
Similarly to Prague, the prices of single and 24-hour tickets are increasing. The price rise is approximately 30% for paper tickets and 20% for tickets in the PID Lítačka mobile application.
Unlike in Prague, there will also be an increase in the prices of long-term passes for the outer tariff zones – again by about 30% (paper) and 20% (electronic).
A new 4-zone 24-hour ticket will now be valid for any four consecutive outer zones and will only be available in electronic form.

Change in the calculation of zones for journeys beyond the borders of Prague
From 2026, Prague will be counted as 3 fare zones for cross-border travel instead of the previous four. Zone P will now be counted as only one zone (originally as two zones). For example, a trip from the 1st outer zone to the center of Prague (zone P) will now only require a ticket for 4 zones (zones P, 0, B and 1) instead of the original five-zone ticket. Zones 0 and B remain unchanged.
Attention! The change in the zone calculation applies only to passengers who buy individual fares from/to outer zones (1-13), which also includes travel on Prague public transport (zone P). The zone calculation does not change for passengers who buy a fare only for Prague public transport, or individual fares from/to outer zones to/from travel zones 0 and/or B.
The zone calculation does not change for passengers who use subscription coupons either.

The new tariff also unifies the rules for travelling by train in Prague (zones P, 0, B) with the rules valid for public transport. Most of the existing exceptions will be abolished.

Regular public transport lines can still be used within the standard PID tariff.
Group (family) fares in the Central Bohemian region
Completely new group (family) one-day tickets will be introduced for all outer tariff zones, valid until 4:00 the following day. They will be sold in two variants:
| Group composition | Validity | Price in the app | Price of a paper ticket |
