Bus Travel in the Czech Republic

Most domestic bus routes are operated by the state owned CSAD with competition from the privately operated Cebus and Ceský národní expres. As elsewhere in Europe, the privately run buses offer a better quality service although CSAD buses go to even the smallest towns and villages.

Although the bus service in the Czech Republic is extremely comprehensive and faster than comparable train services, the infrastructure, timetables and ticketing is confusing with many travellers prefering to travel by train.

International bus services operated by Eurolines and a number of smaller companies connect Prague and other major cities with other European destinations. Busabout serves Ceský Krumlov and Prague.

Most bus services from Prague (both domestic and international) depart from Florenc station (metro Florenc) except Eurolines buses which depart from Zelivského metro station.
