- The Prague airport shared shuttle service used to be operated by the CEDAZ minibus services. After the triple AAA taxis bought the company and then left the position as the official Prague airport taxi, the shared shuttle services are only provided by the Prague Airport Transfers s.r.o. – www.Prague-airport-transfers.co.uk. The shared shuttle is a great bargain for 1 or 2 passengers. Larger groups do not benefit from the price difference. In fact the efficiency of the Prague airport shuttle is questionable, since one can wait some time at the airport before the departure and then be taken on a unwelcome sightseeing tour around Prague. If you are staying further out of the city center e.g. Prague 9 and you are a solo passenger, the Prague airport shuttle is a great deal. In other cases it is recommended to go by public transport or private transfer
