I am thinking of visiting Seattle next year. I’m trying to decide whether to fly or drive, as that would probably be cheaper to fly, we would like to drive. (I live in Oklahoma), but you want to rent a vehicle or pubblici.Quindi I wondered what kind of public transport is to visit the area and what it costs.

A Quick Guide to Prague Public Transportation
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Prague has a reliable and convenient public transportation system, which consists of metro, trams and buses. It enables local people and visitors of Prague travel around Prague quite easily though at peak hours one might find it too crowded. Fares
You can use just one ticket or pass for all three vehicles. If you stay in Prague for a short time (a few days), you will probably use single tickets.
You can either buy a transfer ticket or a non-transfer ticket. A transfer ticket is for three zones and can be used for 75 minutes on weekdays and for 90 minutes at weekends. You have to buy a ticket before you get on and you have to validate it first time you enter one of the vehicles. The time counts from the validation. With a transfer ticket you can change metro, trams and buses and combine them. The cost is 20 CZK (about 0. 8 EUR). A non-transfer ticket can be used for 20 minutes and doesn’t allow change. The cost is 14 CZK (about 0. 5 EUR). These tickets you can buy in vending machines installed in each metro station and at some tram and bus stops. Tickets are also available in many tobacco shops and newsagents’.
There are also season tickets (passes) available – 24 hours ticket (80 CZK/3 EUR), 3-day pass (220 CZK/8 EUR), 7-day pass (280 CZK/10 EUR), 15-day pass (320 CZK/12 EUR). Residents and long-time visitors buy long-term passes – monthly, quarterly, annual. These tickets can be bought at tickets offices located at several metro stations (e. g. Mustek, Florenc, I. P. Pavlova). Metro
Prague metro has a good reputation not only among local people but also among visitors of Prague. There are 3 lines designated by letters A (green line), B (yellow line) and C (red line). Metro is in operation daily from 5 am till midnight. It is reliable, convenient and fast way of getting further from the center. You can also use it within the center but to move around the center trams might be more convenient if you do not like walking. Prague metro is clean and quite safe. However, you must beware of pickpockets like in most big cities. Trams
Those who don’t like metro can use trams. Going by tram around the center is a very convenient and easy way of traveling. Trams in the center get quite crowded due to the high concentration of tourists. There is again the danger of pickpockets especially at the busiest places of the center. Trams operate from 4. 30 am till midnight. After midnight you can use night trams operating from 00. 30 am till 4. 30 am. Buses
Buses are mainly used to get further from the center, to and within suburbs. Buses operate from 4. 30 am till midnight. After midnight night buses operate. Ticket inspection
The validity of tickets can be checked any time during your trip by ticket inspectors. Tickets inspectors are entitled to ask passengers to show valid tickets and in case of traveling without a valid ticket give passenger a penalty fate in the amount of 800 CZK. Ticket inspectors have to prove themselves by an inspection badge Ticket inspection /Prague Public Transit Co. Inc.

Tips for your Safety While Riding Public Transportation
Friday, December 18th, 2009Tips for your Safety While Riding Public Transport
While millions of people ride on public Transportation every day is a good idea to always stay alert. If you are a women having a personal alarm or pepper spray for protection is not a bad idea. I know that while you want to sleep make sure you protect what is yours.
Safety on the Train
* Never get on the last car you need to stay with other people just in case. The last car is away from everything mostly people.
* Keep all your personal items next to you on your lap or if standing makes sure you have your back to the wall of the train.
* Always check to see where the emergency cord id or any help button should you ever need it you won’t have to get crazy to find it. I do this in most nightclubs or hotels. I never want to be in a place I don’t know how to get out should I need to.
*While on the train make sure you wait where other people are don’t go to the side where no one is.
* If you feel like something is not safe wait for a stop that is busy and get off or change your seat. Please don’t get off at a stop that no one is at. If someone were to follow you, you would be alone.
Bus Stop Safety Tips
* Know when the bus is coming don’t go to the bus stop at night and just wait you could be their along time.
* Go to a bus stop that has other people waiting.
Safety in a cab
* When calling the cab ask for the drivers name so when you get in ask them what their name is just for a little extra protection.
* Its a good idea to have your money and keys ready when the cab arrives you don’t want to go into you bag while driving.
* If your gut tells you to get out just ask the driver to pull over on a busy street and get out. The worst that could happen is you have to walk a little its better then becoming a victim.
If you travel on public transportation allot you know most this. Its always a good idea to be ready just in case have a pepper spray or a personal alarm on you key chain or in your bag make sure it is not in the bottom of you bag so you can’t find it. It is of no use to you if you can’t find it when you need it most.
