===Trams, trolleybuses and buses===
{{main|Trams in Plzeň}}
The Plzeň metropolitan area is largely served by a network of trams, [[trolleybus]]es and buses operated by the PMDP. Like other continental European cities, tickets bought from vending machines or small shops are valid for any transport run by the city of Plzeň. For residents of the city, a Plzeň Card can be purchased and through a system of "topping up" be used on any public transport with no limitations, as long as it is paid up and valid. Tickets can be purchased in vehicles with a contactless smart card.<ref>{{cite web |title=Platby bezkontaktními kartami ve vozech MHD v Plzni|url=https://www.pmdp.cz/pro-media/tiskove-zpravy/doc/platby-bezkontaktnimi-kartami-ve-vozech-mhd-v-plzni-1824/newsitem.htm|publisher=Plzeňské městské dopravní podniky|language=cs|date=2016-05-18|access-date=2025-04-15}}</ref>
