Prague City Transport Announces Longer Public Transport Intervals

Starting Monday, January 6, Prague will adjust its public transport schedule due to a seasonal drop in passenger numbers.

According to the city’s transport coordination company, passenger traffic typically decreases by 15% at the start of the year compared to December.

The adjusted “semi-vacation schedule” will remain in effect until February 23, impacting metro, tram, and bus services with extended intervals.

• On Line C, rush hour intervals will rise from 115–120 seconds to 130 seconds, and afternoon/evening intervals will grow from 145 seconds to 155 seconds.

Early morning metro services on all lines will run at 5-minute intervals on weekdays. Weekend services will have 7–8-minute intervals, except for Sunday evenings on Line C, where intervals will shorten to 6 minutes.

Tram Services:

Weekday tram intervals will be extended from 8 minutes to 10 minutes. The busiest routes—9, 17, and 22—will see intervals increase from 4 minutes to 5 minutes.

Bus and Trolleybus:

On weekdays, morning bus intervals will increase from 6 minutes to 7.5 minutes, with daytime intervals rising from 7.5 minutes to 10 minutes.
