Surely the whole planet does.
Do they have Uber?

In three visits to Prague we have never felt the need to use a taxi. Public transport was excellent in our experience, particularly the trams.
It was much the same story for us in Budapest. We used one taxi as we arrived quite late the first time, booked through our hotel. It was OK but I wouldn't bother again.
At least with Uber they can't take you round the houses or overcharge, and if you find out afterwards that they have, you can report it to customer service

Regarding currency, I just usually use my debit card. Notify your bank you will be doing so before travelling. I have almost always got better exchange rates just withdrawing in local currency than I have changing cash before travel or when I have been at my destination. I do however normally take a bit of local currency with me.
To get from the Airport in to Prague you can either take bus route 319 from the Airport to Stredokluky railway station (about a 10 minute journey) and then take the suburban train (line S54) in to Prague. Or you can take the Bus routes 100 / 119 / 191 (or 510 during night time) to various Metro and Tram stations nearby where you can change to a Metro or Tram service in to Central Prague.
I don't think Czech is too hard to learn. I certainly found speaking Czech far easier than French or Spanish or Italian. Although i use to live in Russia when i was very young (and speak Russian fluently) so maybe that helped (as it is another Slavic language).
And I fear only a fluent Russian (or other Slavic language) speaker like you would find Czech easy. I'm a good linguist, in the touristy area of Sumava at this moment, and the real problem is that Czech and English have very few words in common!

The Slavic languages are tough to learn but just for a weekend away a few simple phrases are enough. You can learn them and how to pronounce them quite easily. Just being able to say hello, goodbye, please and thank you and a few other phrases will get the locals on side.
That doesn't help you reading signs in Cyrillic lettering though!
