Prague Metro Industry Projects


As the sixth-busiest metro system in Europe, Prague Metro consists of roughly 60km of track, running largely underground, serving 57 stations. The network was extended in 2008 but the majority was built about 30 years ago. It currently serves over 620 million passengers a year.
It has three lines – Line A (green), Line B (yellow) and Line C (red) – that all meet together in the centre of the city at three interchange stations (Můstek, Muzeum and Florenc). The system is operated by the Prague Transport Company Co. Inc. (Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy a.s.) which also manages all modes of public transport in Prague, including trams and buses.

Trains operate from 5am until midnight every day at about two to three-minute intervals during peak hours and roughly four to ten-minute intervals during off-peak hours. The system is connected to commuter trains and buses forming a public transportation network that extends to the wider reaches of the city called Prague Integrated Transport.
