Prague public transport modernization

Overview

Prague is implementing a series of public transport modernization projects. This includes the early completion of the Muzeum tramway reconstruction, which cost CZK 224.7 million and restored tram lines 11 and 13 to their original routes near the National Museum. The project introduced fully accessible stops and a safety pilot using illuminated flashing strips to alert pedestrians.

Further fleet upgrades involve the introduction of battery-powered Bozankaya SNG 12T trolleybuses from Turkey, with the first 11 units arriving as part of a 30-vehicle order. Additionally, the city is expanding its Škoda Transportation tram fleet, aiming for 40 climate-controlled trams by the end of the year as part of a long-term multi-billion koruna investment plan.
