Are there any controllers in the Prague metro?

Answer information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Metro in Prague is not the same as in Moscow. At the entrance there are no aunts in the booths and there are no turnstiles. Rather, turnstiles are, but they are not in order to cut the "hare" properly on the knees and not to miss the malicious intruder in the metro without a ticket. And only to ensure that the passenger has punched the travel card, and the last time and date of the entrance to the subway (the travel tickets in Prague - "денdenki" - are valid for a certain period of time, after which they can not be used.)

Some, maybe , it seems tempting to ride a "hare," because no one checks. So this is not so. Controllers in the Prague Metro are, but they are not dressed in uniform, but in ordinary clothes, like all passengers. And they can catch you in the car, at the escalator, in the transition - yes anywhere. The controller will show you the identity card and a special token with the number specified in the certificate. And, if you turn out to be the "hare", then please give 950 CZK or 700 CZK if you pay immediately at the crime scene. So decide for yourself
