You can buy tickets in the form of classic paper tickets in vending machines in the city. For example, right in front of the main station there is a machine where you can also pay by card. The paper ticket is then marked inside the bus by inserting it into the yellow validator.
A more convenient option is to pay with your own contactless card, which you just need to insert into the validator when you board the bus. This payment method is the only one possible when travelling from the airport, as paper tickets cannot be purchased at the airport.
The bus stop at the main station is located in front of the Mercury shopping centre on Nádražní Street (see map).
