portal. We do not have access to your payment card data and we cannot make
any purchase using the card data provided by you. The payment is identified by
the unique order number (Order ID – a 15-digit numeric string). The order is
considered paid and received by us after the price is credited to our bank
account. After that, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. If you do
not receive the confirmation e-mail and/or your tickets within
8 hours:
- double-check your SPAM (JUNK) folder.
- if the ticket is not in your SPAM (JUNK), you need to contact
us on bus@czech-transport.com.

immediately.
Unavailable sold out tickets
If due to any circumstances we cannot purchase the
ticket (e.g. the bus is full, a mistake in the booking
system…) we will contact you by e-mail. The default
guaranteed option is a full refund within 3–5 working days. We also offer
other alternatives.
If there are any complications with the order, you will be contacted by
e-mail. If you do not respond in 3 days to the repeated e-mails or SMS messages
from Czech-transport, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund you.
Czech-transport is not liable for any damage caused in such situations.
