You do not have a valid ticket: what to say in Czech
You do not have a valid ticket.

How it's done. Travelling without a ticket carries a přirážka (fine); if you had a ticket but didn't validate it you can usually appeal. The fine is paid by transfer or on the spot within the stated time.Prepared by the Movko team, November 2026.
