Participants travel as many public transport vehicles as possible in three hours. The aim is to get on and off the buses, trams and so on, and change at various stops and stations, and also to get to special stops that will win them extra points. They need to return back to the starting point on time and show organisers a notepad with the records of their journeys. The winner shows the highest number of journeys made.
Even beginners may succeed
The 1st year winner was a person nicknamed Thriller, in the 2nd year there were two winners with nicknames Matej and Užovka. Ráďa won the 3rd year competition and Wist succeeded in the 4th year. He was a complete beginner. Only those registered in advance can participate (due to the guidance material provided). Participation is free of charge. This year’s starting point is the railway station Prague – Strašnice at 4 p.m. However, the presentation and rules clarification will take place shortly after 3 p.m. The finish is expected at the same place at 7 p.m. And of course there is a prize to be awarded.
Prague Public Transit Company involved
The name Lítačka (Pass) is supposed to evoke speed with which a participant moves across the city, but also it is a common name for a public transport ticket. The Foglar’s Friends Club is the main organiser, and Ropid with PPTC are its supporters.
