Hi everyone,
First off sorry for posting in english, but I don’t speak czech.
I will be traveling by train from Germany into the Czech Republic (Černý Důl). I was able to book the route to Prague without any problems at the travel center, but I could no longer book within the Czech Republic. I have to travel from Prague to Černý Důl (AFAICT Černý Důl doesn’t have a train station, but only a bus stop), but unfortunately I don’t know where I can book a ticket or whether I can simply buy a ticket on the spot. I found the website https://idos.idnes.cz, but the prices there are very low at CZK 195 (= EUR 7.85) which sounds sketchy.
What advice would you give me about where (website, app, location) and how I should book? Are there any special things I should be aware of, e.g. if I miss a connecting train (German trains are ALWAYS late) what should I do then?
As far as I can tell, Černý Důl doesn’t have a train station, are you sure you’re not looking at buses?
Also the website you linked shows two connecting buses and the price it shows for this route is a “partial price”, meaning you can only buy ticket to the first bus from the site. I would guess the second bus ticket would be purchased on the spot then.

Yes, I also meant busses. I should have included that in my message. My bad.

Ahhh, okay. That explains the price, thank you for clarifying!
Do you know a good App/Website where I can look up the bus times? For example here in Germany we have the DB App (DB = Deutsche Bahn = german railroad).
This is the official app for finding traffic connections in the Czech Republic.
