Price of yearly pass for Prague transport system to fall markedly

The price of a yearly pass for Prague’s public transport system is set to fall considerably after the city council approved a proposal put forward by the Green Party and the Three-party Coalition. From July a yearly ticket will cost CZK 3,650, down from the current price of CZK 4,750. To make up for the difference, the city will boost its subsidies for the transport system by up to CZK 400 million a year. The move is aimed at encouraging residents to use Prague’s buses, trams and metro trains rather than drive into the centre.
