The Prague Metro is based on an honor system. You're supposed to buy a ticket, but you don't really have to, unless you get caught by the transit police while they're checking your tickets.
The first week we were here, everybody got checked by the transit police at least once at the Muzeum stop. There are always cops there checking, so if you're going there your best bet is to have a ticket.
Of course, because I didn't speak any Czech I didn't realize they were the transit cops. They were gesturing and speaking at me, and I didn't noticed the badges.
Instead of showing them my pass, I put up a hand and said "Ne, dekuji" (No thank you), thinking they were selling something.
Later, I found out that every single one of my friends thought the same thing, and reacted the same way.
Funny how that works.
