TRAVEL INSTRUCTION FROM PRAGUE AIRPORT TO PARDUBICE

TRAVEL INSTRUCTION –FROM PRAGUE AIRPORT TO PARDUBICE Dear students, here you can find complete information how to get from Prague Václav Havel Airport to Pardubice, directly to the dormitories, where you are going to live during your stay in Pardubice. This document describes you the public transport in Prague, the train to Pardubice as well as the public transport system in Pardubice. Very shortly: 1. Bus line AE from Prague Airport to Prague Main railway station 2. The EuroCity or Express train from Prague to Pardubice 3. Trolleybus line 3 or 33 or bus line 10, 16, 17 or 23 or night service no. 98 from the railway station to the main campus where your dormitory is located (bus stops Polabiny,Hradecká, Univerzita and Polabiny,hotel) The ticket for the AE bus and the train can be purchased by train operator online. The ticket for the public transport in Pardubice can be bought from the ATM machine at the railway station. Detailed description of all the above steps follows:

1. From Prague Airport to the main railway station It isn't hard to get from Prague Airport to the railway station. Basically you land, collect all of your luggage, you can change some money at an exchange office at the airport terminal and find the bus stop. In case of not buying the ticket in advance in the e-shop buy your ticket in Prague Tourist Information Centre kiosk in arrival hall of Terminal 1 (photo is in the last chapter describing the ticket issues). The flights outside Schengen area and also few low-cost flights inside Schengen area are operated from Terminal 1, the flights inside Schengen area are usually operated from Terminal 2 (Prague Airport has 3 terminals, Terminal 3 is designed for private flights). It is very easy to find the bus stop. The bus stops by both terminals, the bus stops are located in front of the buildings. The arrival hall is in the ground level so you only need to get outside the building and you’ll see the bus stop while having the cigarette break. If you arrive to Terminal 1, you have to use the bus stop named Terminál 1 marked by G. As you can see in the picture, it is the rightmost bus stop when leaving the terminal building. If you arrive to Terminal 2, the bus stop Terminál 2 has 3 bus stops marked A, B, C. You have to choose the one marked B, it is the second one. The situation is clearly shown in the picture below (your route and bus stop painted by red color in the picture). The bus stops are marked with red color, every bus stop is equipped with the overview of lines serving this bus stop. The Terminál 1 and Terminál 2 bus stops have also the digital table showing the times of upcoming buses (the departures of your recommended line AE are marked with different color, orange one, because special tariff terms and conditions are applied in this bus).

You can see the situation of the bus stop Terminál 2 in following picture:

Airport Express line From that particular bus stop you have to take the bus to the main railway station. The bus is marked as line AE (abbreviation for Airport Express). The AE bus runs daily every 30 minutes. First bus leaves Terminál 1 stop at 5:30 a.m. (Terminál 2 stop at 5:32 a.m.), last one leaves Terminál 1 stop at 9:00 p.m. (Terminál 2 stop at 9:02 p.m.). The headway of 15 minutes will be operated after June 1st from 9:00 a.m. till 8:00 p.m. This headway will be operated till September 30th. The AE bus goes through 2 stops between Terminál 2 stop and the Main Railway Station stop. You don't have to count the stops, the Main Railway Station stop is the terminal stop of the bus (and the stops on the routes are request stops, so you maybe won’t even stop there), the name of the terminal stop is Hlavní nádraží (Czech for Main station). The route takes about 30 – 40 minutes depending on the daytime and traffic intensity. The ticket for the AE line can be bought in advance online together with the train ticket from Prague to Pardubice (the cheapest way is to buy the ticket from Prague Airport directly to Pardubice, the ticket is then accepted in the bus as well as in the train, the tickets are described in the last chapter).

The bus and the marking are shown in the above picture. There is the sign of the train as the connection to the railway station as well as the texts in English (Main Station) and German (Hbf.). The line is usually served by the buses with grey-blue color and big texts Airport Express and buses with standard Prague colors – combination of red and black), but the information about the line in the information system of the bus is the same. The bus stop Hlavní nádraží is located in front of the building of railway station. You enter the building, get downstairs (there are escalators on both sides - about 5 meters

-3-

distanced from the building entrance). The escalator takes you to the railway station hall. You shouldn't have problems from this moment, all the signs and announcements at railway stations are in Czech as well as in English language. Other possibilities - taxi The other possibility how to get to the railway station is the taxi. There are marked places for the taxis at the airport, the airport is served by the company AAA taxi. If you order a taxi at the AAA radiotaxi information desk in the arrival hall, you will get a preferential service with a discount as well as a discount coupon for your next ride back to the airport. The price for the taxi from the airport to the main railway station is 500 – 550 CZK (approx. 20 €) plus 6 CZK (approx. 0.22 €) per every minute of possible waiting. The taxi drivers allowed to take the passengers at the airport must speak English. Other possibilities – public transportation services If you come to Prague too early or too late (first AE bus goes at 5:30 a.m., the last one at 9:00 p.m.) and you don’t want to use the taxi (which is quite expensive in comparison with the public transport), then you have to use the other lines of public transport, you can see the departure schedule in following table. Be carefull abou the weekdays and weekends connections, especially during night (for example weekend connection at 00:17 goes on Saturday and Sunday, that actually means Friday and Saturday night): Departure time from Terminál 1

Night bus line no. 510 (23:50 – 04:01 from the airport) The night line no. 510 (direction Na Beránku) goes every 30 minutes during the weekday night and every 20 minutes during the weekend night, it is operated approximately from midnight until 4 a.m. It stops in the bus stop marked as E at the Terminál 1 stop and in the bus stop marked as A at the Terminál 2 stop (see the picture above). Take this bus to the stop I.P.Pavlova (it’s a transfer stop for few night bus lines), the previous stop for getting ready is named Štěpánská and the route from Terminál 2 stop to I.P.Pavlova stop takes 42 minutes. At this stop you have to change for the line no. 505 in direction to Sídliště Čimice. You have to get to the stop in the opposite direction (the bus no. 505 which stops in the same stop like you left the bus is the opposite direction than the one you need). It’s a little bit tricky, because the street you have left the bus in is an one-way street. You have to go 40 meters back to the crossing, go to the right and in the next street there is a bus stop. Bus no. 505 in the direction to Sídliště Čimice leaves I.P.Pavlova stop also every 30 minutes during the weekday night and every 20 minutes during weekend night, there is 4 - 7 minutes time for changing after arrival of every bus no. 510. You have to go just one stop with the bus no. 505, the first stop is Hlavní nádraží (Main station).

http://www.mapy.cz (the descriptions added by the author)

In case that you go with the last night line connection at 3:56 a.m. (weekdays) or 4:01 a.m. (weekends) then you have to go also to the I.P.Pavlova stop and change here for the bus line no. 505, but these last connections leaving I.P.Pavlova stop at 4:46 a.m. (weekdays) or 4:51 a.m. (weekends) are not going to Sídliště Čimice, but they are ended in Hlavní nádraží, that is the next stop and also the stop you need to get. In case that you miss the last connection with the bus no. 505, do not worry, at this time, you can already change for metro (underground). You follow the same described route to the bus stop of the line no. 505, but before the stop you will see the entrance to the metro station – it is downstairs and marked with red letter C. Here you take the metro in the direction to Florenc – Nádraží Holešovice – Ládví – Letňany. Your destination is named Hlavní nádraží (Main station) and it is a second stop after I.P.Pavlova. The same tickets as for the daily public transport can be used in Prague, so the ticket for 32 CZK is suitable too, it can be bought in the ATM at the bus stop and you have to validate it when entering the bus no. 510, the revalidation in bus no. 505 isn’t needed. The situation is little bit complicated, if you come in the gap between first/last AE bus and first/last night connection, this means between 4 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. and between 9 p.m. and 12 a.m., then you have to use the other public transportation line no. 119 from the airport. Bus line no. 119 (4:00 – 5:30 and 21:00 – 23:45 from the airport) The bus no. 119 stops at the bus stop E at the Terminál 1 stop and at the bus stop A at the bus stop Terminál 2. Take the bus no. 119 and use it till the terminal station named Nádraží Veleslavín (Veleslavín railway station). Nádraží Veleslavín is the transfer station for the metro (underground) A line going to the city center. After leaving the bus go underground following -6-

the information system to the green letter A with an arrow symbol (it symbolizes the A line of the metro). Take the metro on the right side of the platform (direction Dejvická – Můstek – Muzeum – Želivského – Skalka – Depo Hostivař). Use the metro for 7 stations till the station named Muzeum (approx. 12 minutes). Muzeum is the transfer station and you change here for the metro line C (follow the arrows to the red marked letter C). Take the metro line C in direction Florenc – Nádraží Holešovice – Ládví – Letňany. The next stop is Hlavní nádraží (Main station). The bus no. 119 is operated during the whole day, but using of the Airport Express line (AE) is much easier and more comfortable for you. Tickets The public transportation ticket for all described versions of journey (except the AE line with special tariff) can be bought in the ATM machine or at any newspaper shop at the airport. Use the ticket for 32 CZK / 1.19 €. This ticket is valid for 90 minutes, the validity time is started when you enter the bus and mark the ticket in the validator (put it inside validator so the printed information is printed on validation stamp place). You don’t have to revalidate it when changing the bus to metro (the ticket is fully transferable within the 90 minutes). In case that your luggage exceeds the dimensions of 25 x 40 x 70 cm, then you’re supposed to buy a ticket for the luggage too; the price of that ticket is 16 CZK / 0,58 €. Validate it in the same as the ticket for you. The ticket for luggage is valid together with your ticket for the same time and you have to validate it when entering the bus in the same way as your ticket.

The trains leaving Prague main station at xx:52 highlighted by yellow color will be changed due to construction works. Started by January 3rd these trains will leave Prague main station 3 minutes earlier at xx:49. This measure will be applied until April 2016. Train tickets purchased by České dráhy (Czech railways – Czech national carrier, abbreviated as ČD in the table) aren’t connected to certain train, they can be used in every train on the route during the whole 24 hours of the day, the same for the bus line AE from the airport, the ticket can be bought from the airport directly to Pardubice and then it is valid in all AE bus connections during that day as well as in all trains operated by České dráhy between Prague and Pardubice during that particular day. There are some exceptions, these trains are marked with the non-bold text. The non-bold texted trains are Pendolinos and few IC trains, where the ticket can be used, but you have to buy the additional seat reservation for every particular train (price is changeable, usually 35 CZK / 1.26 € per person, very often you can get seat reservation for free for this IC trains when purchasing tickets online from their eshop), and the second group of non-bold texted trains are the trains of another carriers – RegioJet, Leo Express (abbreviated as RJ and LE in the table) and Arriva. These carriers work in other way, you have to buy the ticket for particular train connection and tickets bought by České dráhy aren’t accepted. The trains of category SC (SuperCity) are Pendolinos, the trains of category rj (railjet), EC (EuroCity), EN (EuroNight) and IC (InterCity) are the trains with wagons of higher quality. The trains of category R (fast train – “rychlík” in Czech) are the normal trains, the quality is lower than by the other ones and the price is the same so I wouldn’t recommend you to use R train if not necessary.

3. From Pardubice railway station to the university dormitories Firstly talk to your buddies before the journey; they will await you at the railway station most likely. In unlike situation when your buddy is not waiting at the railway station for you, please follow these instructions.

Your dormitories are located in the main campus 2.5 km from the railway station, the brave ones can try to go by foot using the GPS locator, the location of the dormitories reception is 50°2'56.080"N, 15°46'2.881"E. The address is University of Pardubice – Halls of dormitory, Studentská 201, Pardubice. The other ones can use the public transport. Firstly go to the ATM machine and buy the tickets for the public transport, you will need the ticket for 15 CZK / 0.56 €. If you use the night service no. 98 the tickets are sold only by the bus driver and the price for tickets is 25 CZK / 0.93 €.


The connection between railway station and the main campus is provided by trolleybus lines 3 and 33 and bus lines 10, 16, 17 and 23. In the late evening night line 98 is operated. The buses are going from different stops at the railway station terminal; you can see the locations and directions on the map. All the regular daily lines go from the bus stops at the same side of the street as the railway station is located. The night line line no. 98 goes from the other side of the street as you can see in the picture below. Buses go almost all the time especially in the peak hours. You just need to get to the bus stop and enter the bus. Don’t forget to validate your ticket in the validator inside the bus. There is the rule of entering the buses only using the front door after 8 p.m. In that case enter the bus and validate your ticket in the validator by the driver. In case that you come in the late night and you have to use the night line other process is applied. You have to enter the bus and buy the tickets from the driver (the price is 25 CZK). There are three stops in the university campus. Lines 3, 17, 33 and night line 98 go to the stop named Polabiny,Hradecká, bus lines number 10 a 16 go to the bus stop Univerzita and line 23 goes to the bus stop Polabiny,hotel. The travel time from the railway station to the

dormitories is 7 – 8 minutes with the daily lines. There are 5 stops between dormitories stop and railway station. The previous stop before dormitories is named Stavařov. The night line no. 98 uses other way, there are only 4 stops between railway station and university campus. Use the bus stop Polabiny,Hradecká (the previous one is Polabiny,hotel). The travel time is about 5 minutes. Here you can see the overview of all the buses you can use, it goes very often all the day, but you can check it especially in the evening.

All the mentioned buses stop at the bus stops described in the map of the campus bus stops, all of them are close to the dormitories. All the stops are announced by the voice system and there is also the information about the next stop is provided by the digital system of the bus. The locations of the stops are clear from the map on the next page. If you go with the bus or trolleybus line no. 3, 17, 33 or 98, leave the bus at the mentioned stop Polabiny,Hradecká, then you have to go 70 meters back (the opposite direction than the bus went) and in front of you there is the dormitories block D, the reception is in the block C, that is the first building you see on the left side. If you go by bus lines 10 or 16, leave the bus at the stop Univerzita, cross the street, go 230 meters back (the opposite direction than the bus went), turn to the right and the building on your right side is block C. If you come with the bus 23, leave the bus at the bus stop Polabiny,hotel. Go 50 meters back (the opposite direction than the bus went) and turn to the left by the crossing, after 100 meters turn to the right and

- 14 -

after 100 meters go through the underpass. Behind the underpass, there is block D on your right side and the block C with the reception is located 80 meters ahead of you. Total walking distance is 180 meters from the Polabiny,Hradecká bus stop, 380 meters from the Univerzita bus stop and 380 meters from the Polabiny,hotel bus stop. The routes are shown in the map.


The printscreen from Google Streetview, where you can see the bus stop Polabiny,Hradecká on the left side and the building on the right side is the dormitories reception building:

The other option is the taxi. The taxi parking is situated in front of the main railway station in Pardubice. The best option is to use services of the company Taxi Pardubice

- 15 -

(http://www.taxi-pardubice.cz/, phone number: +420 800 666 660). The fare from the Pardubice (main station) to the dormitories is approximately 200 CZK plus 7 CZK/min of possible waiting. The overview map with the points of interest in Pardubice:

4. Price list and tickets purchasing This part is about where and how to buy the tickets. It contains a very detailed description of buying the ticket in the e-shop of České dráhy. Then you will need the ticket for Pardubice public transport that can be bought in the ATM at Pardubice railway station. In case of not using AE line but other urban public lines in Prague the tickets can be purchased in the ATM at the airport or in any newspaper shop. The ticket from Prague Airport to Pardubice Train tickets to Pardubice may be purchased at the Prague Tourist Information Centre kiosk right at the Terminal 1 arrival hall or in the e-shop of České dráhy. You can see the kiosk at this photo. They speak English:

Martin Trpišovský

The tickets bought either in the kiosk or e-shop have the same validity no matter where you buy them, and you can use them also in the Airport Express bus line from the airport to the railway station. I recommend you to buy the ticket online in advance, you can buy the ticket for the Airport Express bus line (AE) as well as for the train to Pardubice.
