Actually, it is over 65 rather than 70. However, it appears a passport alone is not valid as proof on trains within the Prague area, a local chip card or pass is required, according to the
PID website. My underscore in the quote below.
There is also a 50% discount throughout the PID region beyond Prague.
SENIOR FROM 65 YEARS
Prague – travel for free
Seniors from 65 years of age travel in the area of Prague for free, if they are able to
prove their age:
- National identity card issued by a European Union country [
This proof cannot be used on trains.]
- Passport [
This proof cannot be used on trains.]
- A chip card registered in the PID Lítačka system with an application proving the age

If a senior cannot prove eligibility (age) by one of the above methods, they must purchase a full-price ticket.
