Pardubice Airport (PED) to the city
Tapping a payment card costs 17 CZK for the ten minute ride to the station; paying the driver costs 35, which is double.
- A zone I journey of more than three stops costs 17 CZK if you tap a payment card, 22 CZK on a paper ticket and 35 CZK if you buy from the driver.
- Buying from the driver costs roughly twice the card fare, which is the single thing worth knowing before you board.
- Bus route 90 connects the main railway station with the airport terminal, about 10 minutes away.
- The bus stop is at the terminal, with no walk involved.
- You can also pay by SMS, in the Sejf app, at machines or in advance.
- Parking at the airport is free and needs no reservation, but the maximum stay is 20 minutes.
- Pardubice is on the main line from Prague to Ostrava, so the station connection matters more than the city centre one.
- The airport recommends arriving 2 hours before departure.
What the bus costs
| How you pay | Price |
|---|---|
| Contactless payment card | 17 CZK |
| Paper ticket bought in advance | 22 CZK |
| Bought from the driver | 35 CZK |
- These are the zone I fares for a journey of more than three stops, which is what the airport run is.
- The driver's price is the trap. It is roughly double the card fare, and it exists to push people towards buying in advance.
- Tapping a bank card on the reader is the simplest option for a visitor, since it needs no app, no machine and no local currency in cash.
- SMS tickets and the Sejf app are the other prepaid routes.
A ten minute city
- Pardubice hlavni nadrazi to the airport is about 10 minutes by road.
- Route 90 is the city bus that covers it, running between Hlavni nadrazi and Letiste terminal and stopping at the terminal itself.
- Pardubice is on the main line from Prague to Ostrava, so the station connection matters more than the city centre one.
The free car park with a catch
- Parking is free of charge and needs no reservation.
- The maximum stay is 20 minutes. It is a drop off area, not a place to leave a car for a week.
