Wiki Prague

The Prague Metro has actually three lines, each represented by a unique colour from the maps and indications: Line A (green, 17 channels, 17 kilometer), Line B (yellow, 24 stations, 26 km) and Line C (purple, 20 channels, 22 kilometer). You will find 61 stations overall (three which tend to be transfer stations) linked by almost 66 kilometres of mostly underground railways. The metro service runs from 4-5 am until midnight, with about 110 to 200-second intervals between trains and 4-10 mins from the dash hours. Almost 600 million passengers use the Prague Metro yearly (about 1.6 million day-to-day).

The metro is run because of the Prague Public Transit Company Co. Inc. (in Czech, Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy a.s.) which handles all way of public transport all over town (the metro, tramways, buses, five ferries, the funicular to Petřín Hill while the chairlift inside Prague Zoo).

Since 1993, this technique has been attached to commuter trains and buses and to "park-and-ride" parking lots. Together they form a thorough general public transport system achieving more from city, known as Prague Integrated Transport (in Czech Pražská integrovaná doprava—PID). As the large system is zonally listed, the metro is totally inside main zone.

Numerous Prague Metro channels can be huge, with a few entrances spread reasonably far apart. This will often cause confusion for all those new to the system, especially within central hubs such as for example Můstek or Muzeum. Overall the programs are very well signposted even for those of you new to the Czech language. At the heart is in the offing introduction of multilingual indications. The Prague metro is extremely safe.
