Revizor

controller in transport

What does “Revizor” mean in Czechia?

Revizorthis is a controller who checks tickets in city public transport. He shows his ID and checks if you have a valid ticket or coupon.

What he checks

  • Jízdenka — a single-use ticket: 30 minutes (36 CZK in the app / 39 CZK on paper) or 90 minutes (46 / 50 CZK).
  • Kupón — monthly (550 CZK), quarterly (1,480 CZK), or yearly (3,650 CZK).
  • The right to a discount if you are traveling at a reduced fare. Exception: for ages 6–15, a 50% discount applies without a document.

The simplest strategy

A yearly coupon for 3,650 CZK is about 10 CZK per day. Compare this with the risk and stress of every encounter with a revizor.

Important. The exact amount of the fine for traveling without a ticket can be found in the carrier's current tariff — it changes and is different in various cities. The Kupón (monthly/annual ticket) simply removes it from the agenda.
