Take the stairway exit marked "Solinova, Bus, Vysoke skoly". - You will come out of the subway into Solinova Street which will take you directly towards Technicka Street. - take the second left-hand street off Solinova Street - this is Technicka street, where the Technical University is located. - The meeting place (Faculty of Electrical Engineering) is the first building on the right-hand side of Technicka Street. You cannot miss it. b) By train: - take the Underground A-line to the "Dejvicka" terminal station. Use the escalators at the front of your platform and look for the "Solinova, Bus, Vysoke skoly" stairway exit as described above. c) By taxi: - taxi from the Airport to the meeting place should cost approx. 110 Kcs: distance = 13 km; max. price = 8 Kcs/km fixed fee = 6 Kcs - No additional fees should be paid. Please ask for a receipt if in doubt. Directions will be posted inside the Faculty building and there will be people available to point you in the right direction. Public Transport - how much does it cost and where can I get tickets? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Normal ticket price for all types of public transport (Underground, tram, bus, funicular railway) is 4,- Kcs. Tickets should be bought before entering the Underground, tram or bus. You can buy them from supervisors at most entrances to the Underground, or from orange-coloured ticket machines (by the Underground entrances and at many tram or bus stops), or in newspaper kiosks, tobacconists' shops and many food stores. The ticket should be punched IMMEDIATELY after getting on a tram or bus (ask your co-passengers to help you if necessary), and stamped BEFORE entering the Underground premises. Each ticket can be used only once (i.e. a new ticket must be used if you change buses or trams. You can travel any distance on the same ticket if you don't change buses or trams). With the Underground it is slightly different in that your ticket is valid on all Underground lines for one hour. 1-day to 5-day tourist tickets can also be bought mainly in some newspaper kiosks or at Public Transport Offices for 30 Kcs (1-day) to 100 Kcs (5-day); these tickets should not be marked but should be displayed on request.
