Special Fares for Parents Traveling to Residential Care Facilities

Are you a parent or guardian of a child who is in long-term care at an institution? You are eligible for a discounted fare (equal to the child fare—a 50% discount) when traveling to visit your child.

Who is eligible:

• Parents or court-appointed guardians
• The child must have been placed for more than 3 months in a facility administered by the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic, or the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic

How it works:

• You pay the child fare (50% of the full fare)
• The ticket is valid for travel from the child’s permanent residence to the facility and back
• You must take the shortest or most time-efficient route

What you must have with you:

On the way there:

• An ID card issued by the institution
• ID card

On the return trip:

• The same documents + confirmation from the institution that you completed the visit (date, signature, stamp)
• You must begin your return trip no later than the day after your visit
