Prague

metro and tramway

The Prague metro consists of three lines, 53 stations and 54 route km.  This includes an extension opened in June 2004, from Nadrazi Holesovice, the former terminus, to Ladvi, which is only 7.5 kmn below the surface. Alas, still no above ground station on he Prague metro.

The "Pražské metro" opened in 1974, using the standard Soviet generic rolling stock. All lines are underground, with the first two being in very deep tunnels, and the third, Line C, being in shallow tunnels. In one instance on line B, the metro runs inside a glass tube on the surface (between Hurka and Luziny).  A similar station,
Vyšehrad,  is on Line C.

In 2002, central Europe was flooded, and the Prague metro was one of the many casualties. Twenty stations had to be dehumidified. The silver lining is that you can now watch the flooding over the internet for Trasas (lines) A, B and C. There are also some great Povodně photos at  http://metro.dnsalias.org/index_e.htm

The tram network in Prague is very respectable: 32 lines covering 136 km. as of 2003. The first tram in Prague opened in 1891. Part of the system has been upgraded to light rail standards.
