Prague – Public transport: Traffic returns to normal except for the curtains
On weekdays on the line metro Interval in the morning rush hour shortens from the current 180 to 140 seconds and in the afternoon by half a minute to 180 seconds. On route B it will be from 160 to 140 seconds in the morning and in the afternoon by half a minute to 150 seconds. For the busiest line C the trains will run in the morning rush hour after 115 seconds after the current 130 and in the next after 155 after 145 seconds. The interval is also shortened during the so-called saddle, ie between the morning and afternoon peaks.
Trams
For trams, the intervals at the afternoon peak of working days will be reduced from ten to eight minutes. Backbone lines 9, 17 and 22 will have an interval of only four minutes except five. “The morning rush hour on tram connections is already scheduled according to the timetables of full traffic, as well as the saddle period between the rush hours,” said Drápal.
Buses
City buses will run on weekdays in the morning rush hour on backbone lines after five to six minutes and in the afternoon from seven to eight. “For selected lines, eg 125 from Skalka to Smíchovské nádraží, 131 from Bořislavka to Hradčanská or 137 from Malá Ohrady to the Na Knížecí stop, the intervals will also be shortened on weekends,” said Drápal.
On bus lines 100 from Zličín to Václav Havel Airport and Airport Express from the main railway station to the airport, partially limited traffic. The reason is the decrease in tourists caused by the covid. “We expect the resumption of full operation in the above cases subsequently according to the current development of demand,” added Drápal.
