PID Litacka

Hlavní město Praha

About this app

The new PID Lítačka mobile application completely replaces the PID Info transport application. The PID Lítačka mobile application searches for the cheapest fare and allows you to buy single tickets valid for 30 minutes or up to as much as 3 days directly from your mobile telephone using a bank card.

You can also buy tickets without registering

The application displays information about current closures and offers the user a list of P+R car parks with information about their current capacity. It also allows you to purchase several single tickets in one go which the passenger then activates as and when required. The user can also forward the purchased ticket to another user who has the application installed on their device. Tickets purchased via the PID Lítačka application are valid in all of the Prague Integrated Transport zones, i.e. also in the integrated parts of the Central Bohemian Region, including trains operated by České dráhy.

Ratings and reviews

Honestly one of the best transit apps I've ever used, made navigating around Prague really easy and I found it to be quite reliable. Room for improvement is in the accuracy of route finding to a specific address which is not a transit stop. A couple of times it seemed to not actually pick a route that would get me to the closest available stop near my destination but have me get off farther away. If I chose the closest stop as the destination and not the building address, it gave better results.

With this app, I find Google maps totally unnecessary. It is possibly one of the better public transport apps I have used. You can select the current location or point to point, and it will load all possible routes with an option to purchase a tkt. Pretty slick. Also, a system map showing parking as well as current location including buses, trams, trains, etc.

I was forced to install this app because app tickets are now the cheapest option, as compared to any other alternatives. The app, unfortunately, is riddled with bugs and on my phone it is unusable. For the IT department behind the app, I have to say: sorry guys, but it still needs work. For the PID business department who made the blatant vendor lock-in move, I have to say: not cool guys! For whoever is in charge of customer care, I have to ask: where do I raise a couple bug reports, please?
