You did better than my wife and I and elder daughter managed! We never did
work out what ticket to buy nor find a kiosk apparently selling them so
walked everywhere, not a big problem, we found.

They used to be everywhere, with the letters RUCH on the top. Did nobody
tell you?

They still are, and it explained in the guidebooks what to look for
(but, alas, not what to ask for, and I should have got the hotel to
write it down for me, but we managed!)

Presumably the fact that your postillion has been struck by lightning does
not automatically indicate your wish to buy a tram ticket, or a strip of
them. In Russia they call a strip of 10 tickets a book or "kniga", but there
you buy them from the driver.
