I want to travel by ptp train tickets. But, the prices i see on websites are too expensive. Should i buy my tickets from station for cheaper tickets?

Or if i change my question, travelling by bus would be a mistake? Bus tickets are much cheaper. But, they have really bad fame here. Does it deserve to give a try?

Thanks for suggestions! :)

for your routing only KV-Prahy the BUS is a much better alternative: much, much quikcer, cheaper too and comfy., 2 competing lines run ev hour-juyst go to busstation and buy. This is becse train makes a long roundabout route here.
In Europe there are quite a few railway-mad people who think that buses are the reason that some trains are withdrawn and thus they hate them. Others are more sensible and take a realistic look and choose then.
(strange: now I suddenly get all the deutsche worte around this.....
