I am over 70 and understand rides on public transportation in Prague are therefore free. Is a ticket still needed, and how does one obtain one?

You just need to have your passport on you, per Jason who lives there:
Once again the rules for free personal public transport for seniors
are:1) Must have had 65th birthday
2) Must be able to prove age with a National ID document (the actual
document, not a photo or a copy)3) Can claim free personal travel but not large luggage (like a
suitcase etc requires a CZK20 ticket per item)TIPS:
People often assume that a driving licence is enough but this is NOT a
national ID document i.e. in the USA it's issued by the State. The
Czech rules are VERY clear. Prove ID with a National ID document which
in the EU is an ID card but non-EU nationals without any EU residence
permit must show their passport.
