Prague is preparing for a large demonstration at Letná on Sunday, November 15, with additional public transport services planned to accommodate the expected crowds.
The city will increase the frequency of trains on all three metro lines and introduce two temporary tram routes, numbered 40 and 44, to help transport participants to and from the demonstration.
Organized by the Million Moments for Democracy (Milion chvilek) movement, the event is expected to attract thousands of people from across the Czech Republic. Organizers are anticipating a record turnout.
The additional tram services are intended to ease pressure on regular routes, particularly around Letná and neighbouring districts.
Metro services will run more frequently between 11:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Tram 40 will operate from approximately noon until 7 p.m., running every five minutes. It will connect Letná with all three metro lines, travelling from Palmovka through Florenc, Vltavská, Hradčanská and Dejvická before terminating at Červený Vrch.
Tram 44 will also run at five-minute intervals, but only from noon until approximately 3 p.m. Starting at Špejchar, the route will pass through Strossmayerovo náměstí and Výstaviště towards Nádraží Holešovice. It will then continue around Holešovická tržnice, pass Vltavská and return to Letná.
The second route is intended primarily for passengers arriving on Metro Line C.

Despite the additional services, transport authorities warn that overcrowding and delays are likely, particularly at Hradčanská, Vltavská and Nádraží Holešovice stations and on connecting tram routes.
According to Prague 7 authorities, the busiest periods are expected shortly before the demonstration starts and immediately after it ends. The greatest pressure on public transport is anticipated before 2 p.m. and at around 4 p.m.
Tram Disruptions Elsewhere in Prague
Passengers should also expect changes to regular tram services in central Prague.
From approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., trams will be temporarily suspended in the area between Palackého náměstí, Národní divadlo, Jiráskovo náměstí and Myslíkova Street.
Tram lines 5 and 17 will be diverted via Karlovo náměstí during this period.
Road Restrictions and Changes to Letná Ice Rink
Drivers heading towards Letná should also expect traffic restrictions and temporary road closures in the surrounding area. The city recommends avoiding car travel to the demonstration and allowing extra time for journeys.
