Prague Public Transport to Operate on a Reduced Schedule

Due to the newly-announced curfew, Prague authorities decided to reduce the schedule of public transport.

As reported by ČTK, from Monday 2 November, the daily bus and tram schedule will end at 22:00 – 22:30 (depending on the route). As for the metro, the last trains will leave the terminal stations at 22:00, and not at 00:00.

“However, the public transport operations will still significantly exceed the current demand, which is now 70% lower compared to the pre-crisis time,” said Filip Drapal, spokesman for Ropid, Prague’s transport company.
