* Be sure to validate your ticket once you board the bus/tram/metro. There are machines on the platform or on the vehicle.
* Many cities also have night buses/trams that run until the early morning hours.
* When using the metro, be sure to stand on the right side of the escalator if you're not walking up or down, as the left side is reserved for those in a hurry.
* Czech public transportation is generally safe and reliable, but like any busy system, it can be crowded during peak times.

To help you better understand how to use Czech public transportation, let's go through some common scenarios you might encounter:

# Purchase a ticket or validate your long-term pass and proceed to the platform.
# Wait for your train on right platform. Trains arrive every few minutes so you won't have to wait long.
# Be sure to stand on the right side of the escalator if you're not walking up or down.


=== Scenario 3: Catching a tram ===
Listen to a dialogue about someone asking for a ticket at a station. Write down the key phrases used.
You need to catch a tram to get to your hotel. How do you find the right one?


# Find the nearest tram stop and the schedule for the line you need.
=== Exercise 9: Writing Practice ===
