To facilitate a smooth boarding process, it is recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to departure. Here is a comprehensive guide to the transport options available to reach your FlixBus stop in London:

• The London Underground (Tube): The Tube is the quickest and most efficient way to traverse the city. With 11 lines covering over 400 kilometers, it covers the majority of London, with well-marked stations providing easy access to your bus departure point.
• DLR (Docklands Light Railway): The DLR extends the reach of the Tube, particularly in East London. This automated light rail system links key areas such as Canary Wharf, Greenwich, and Stratford, as well as London City Airport. It operates on the same schedule and fare system as the Underground, making it a seamless extension of the metro network.
• Buses: London’s extensive bus network reaches even the most remote parts of the city. While buses can be slower due to traffic, but with careful planning, buses can be a convenient way to reach your FlixBus stop.
• Tramlink: If your bus departure point is located in the southern outskirts of London, the Tramlink offers a reliable transport option.
• Taxis: London’s iconic black cabs provide a convenient, direct way to reach your departure point. Available 24/7, taxis can be hailed on the street, found at designated ranks, or booked via mobile apps. They are an excellent choice if you have heavy luggage or prefer a door-to-door service, though they tend to be more expensive, especially during peak times and at night.

Arriving in Prague

Upon your arrival at your FlixBus stop in Prague, you'll find a variety of transportation options available to help you reach your accommodation or start exploring the city. Prague's public transport network is comprehensive and efficient, making it easy to navigate the city and its many iconic attractions.

Means of Public Transport in Prague

• Prague Metro: The quickest and most efficient way to get around Prague is via the Metro. It consists of three lines - A, B, and C, covering over 60 kilometers of track and serving 61 stations. The Metro operates from 5 am to midnight, with trains running frequently during peak hours.
• Trams: Prague’s tram network is extensive, reaching even the most remote parts of the city. They are a quintessential Prague experience, offering great views of the city and a fun way to see Prague from above ground. Trams run frequently, with several routes operating 24 hours.
• Buses: While buses are less commonly used within the city center due to the efficiency of the Metro and trams, they are essential for reaching areas not serviced by these two networks. Bus lines extend to the outskirts of Prague and are especially useful for reaching locations such as the airport or the zoo.
• Taxis and Ride-Hailing Services: Taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber and Liftago offer a convenient, door-to-door service. They can be hailed on the street, found at designated ranks, or booked via mobile apps. While they tend to be more expensive than public transport, they are a good option if you have heavy luggage or prefer a direct route.
• Prague Public Ferries: A unique feature of Prague's transport system is its network of public ferries. While they won't be your primary mode of transport, they offer a scenic and leisurely way to cross the Vltava River and take in the city's stunning riverside architecture.
