Brno Public Transport

Transportation in Brno is highly developed, with a well-connected public transport system, including trams, buses, and trolleybuses. Additionally, the city features extensive bike paths and bike-sharing services, promoting eco-friendly travel. Drivers benefit from a well-maintained road network and convenient access to highways, making intercity travel easy. While traffic congestion can occur during peak hours, ongoing infrastructure improvements aim to enhance mobility and reduce delays. With various transit options available, Brno ensures smooth travel for both locals and visitors alike.

Public transport in Brno and the rest of the South Moravian Region is provided by Integrovaný dopravní systém Jihomoravského kraje IDS – JMK (the South Moravian Integrated Public Transport System). Tickets are valid for any form of public transport, so you only need to pay attention to how long you are traveling (tickets are valid for specific amounts of time) and which zones you are travelling through. If you’re travelling through the city, a ticket for zones 100 and 101 is probably all you’ll need. You can buy tickets from any of the yellow ticket vending machines located at various stops throughout the city, or you can purchase them at information centres, stations, and newsagents. If you have a Czech phone number, you can buy tickets by sending a text message or using a mobile app. You can also pay contactless in the vehicles.

The entire transport system is connected with several apps, including Google Maps and Mapy.cz, so feel free to use these to plan your trip.

After paying the registration fee, participants will receive a QR code, which serves as a valid ticket for public transportation in Brno during the event.
