Good Fast and Cheap
People often speak of the idea that there are generally three things you want when trying to make something happen: you want it to be good, fast and cheap. However, they also say that the truth is that you can only have two of these things exist at once and that you cannot have the third. For instance, if you are remodeling your kitchen, it can be good and fast, but it won’t be cheap. Or, it can be fast and cheap, but it won’t be good. Or, it can even be good and cheap, but it won’t be fast. You can imagine how you could apply this theory to nearly anything.

Types of transportation
USING TAXIS IN PRAGUE
Four generally reliable companies whose dispatchers speak English are AAA Taxi (Tel. 233 113 311 or 140 14), Profi Taxi (Tel. 261 314 151 or 140 35), Halo Taxi (Tel. 244 114 411) and Radio Taxi (Tel. 224 916 666). Taxi prices are not regulated in Prague, but drivers must post their price-per-km charge, usually on the door. A reasonable price is 22 Kc per km, boarding fee 30 Kc, waiting fee 4Kc/ 1 min., but it is a good idea to agree on a price before you commit to a ride, and be sure that the meter is running while you are in the taxi. Be warned that meters are no guarantee against rip-offs, and the taxi drivers of Prague have a reputation for over-charging – especially if you speak English.ARRIVING FROM THE AIRPORT
All international flights arrive at Prague’s Ruzyne Airport, approximately 20 km to the Northwest of the city center. If you are arriving from the airport, you have three options to get to Prague: airport shuttle service, public transportation or taxi. ARRIVING FROM THE TRAIN STATION
Most international trains arrive either at Prague’s Main Station ("Hlavni nadrazi") or at Prague’s Holesovice Station ("Nadrazi Holesovice") to the north of the city. Both stations are on Metro Line C (red line). To use the Metro you will need to buy a 26 Kc ticket in the hall of the train station (available at most newsstands and kiosks and from coin-operated ticket machines at the entrance to the Metro). You do not have to stamp your ticket a second or third time when you change Metro trains or trams. ARRIVING FROM THE BUS STATION
Most buses arrive at the Florenc station, which is also a Metro stop along Line C (red line). PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Prague offers an excellent public transportation system. Using public transportation requires tickets that can be purchased from the bus driver, at newsstands or coin-operated ticket machines located at Metro stops. After boarding a bus or tram, or upon entering a Metro stop, tickets need to be stamped - look for little boxes with a green or yellow arrow. Tickets of 18 Kc are good for 15 minutes on a tram or bus, or 4 stops on the Metro. It is 26 Kc to ride any means of public transportation for an hour between 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on week-days and for 90 minutes any other time. It is also possible for passengers to buy tickets from a driver on most bus routes. Riders on public transportation must have a pass or a validated ticket. Plain-clothed Metro officers frequently ask riders to show their tickets or passes. Riders without a pass or ticket are subject to a fine of 700 Kc, which must be paid on the stop. NIGHT TRANSPORTATION
The Metro does not run after midnight.
