Simple and effective!

Litteraly got lost in there when I was 15. All because the metro vehicles didn't have alarms on the outside to alert if the doors are closing.

@@yeboxxxchannel2505 Now they have :)

Yes, me too. But Prague is missing 2 things: circle line (there is first proposed idea at the moment) and good (=frequent and fast) regional rail/S-Bahn equivalent. Because many people commute to Prague and the city centre is infested with cars...

Also there are are three main tram lines complementary to the metro. Number 9, 17 and 22

😏

There is no metro directly in Bratislava, but there is one in Ivanka pri Dunaji and another one in Devínska Nová Ves.

Ah yes, the best metro in the world

@@majstter7420 That's the joke

Bratislava metro was under serious construction. But after year 1989, it fell. Remains of building activity are abandoned.

I hope Line D is finished No metro is complete without the Blue line

🤷‍♂️🙏👍 I don't know, I'm from Prague, but if the Zličín depot were to be built, it would be 2027-2028, line d is being built right now, I should be there from December 2029 and then line E

But there is no feasibility study yet. It si just a vague concept now. And just a little correction. It is O as Okružní linka not okruzna.

@@geography_czek5699 ok so only a concept. sorry, i am slovak so i used the slovak equivalent of the word (okruzna and not the czech okruzni)

Actually, a circle line was already in long term plans in late 1980s, that time it was called line E.

@@duhovnik Aha, podle jména jsem myslel, že jsi nějaký random asiat 😅

@@jantrnka1462 Yes, it was. I didn't get into plans from the 80s much, but from what I know it was just in the stadium of concept as well. And even if there was a deeper study, the new line would be probably a bit different from the old one.

If so, I would really recommend you to watch some videos from Honest Guide here on youtube. They make some great videos to help you enjoy your visit.

Visiting Prague is a great experience, just be careful about the scammers there.

Yes, Prague is beautiful, unfortunately there are a lot of scammers here. I recommend watching www.youtube.com/@HONESTGUIDE videos before going here.

I visited Prague in 2006. And after that experience I stood here. I'm living here sixteen years already. I love this place (My place is on the metro map too, line C -Háje).

Nice! I heard Prague has an extensive tram network with one of the highest ridership in the world.

​@@MetroLiner True

@@MetroLiner Co se vrhnout na tramvaje a jiné systémy? Tramvajová síť v Praze má jen cca 142 km.

​@@lokomo41To bych dělat nechtěl. Plno úseků, někdy i hodně krátkých, existovalo třeba jen pár let. Třeba na Santošku (s tehdy největším sklonem) nebo v Prokopova ulice na Žižkově. Aby to bylo dokonalé, srozumitelné, přehledné, trvalo by takové video hodinu minimálně. A to platí vlastně o každém větším městě s tramvajovým provozem...

@@yanweide5560 Pravda, též jsem si to uvědomil, něco jiného je malý provoz (Liberec), než veliký s dlouhým vývojem. Pravda je že takový systém metra v Londýně má také hodinu a to tam jsou i změny jména stanic či jejich přesun.

A video about Perth would be cool too.

The metro was always playing catch up to developments. Prague first started building its panel estates in the city periphery (in green fields) and as construction on them was underway, they started building the metro to give those estates access to the city center. Post 1990s development also only saw the metro expand to already existing developments, mostly historic villages (Palmovka, Hloubětín, Hostivař, Radlická) that had become integrated in to the city or had new logistical centers established around them (e.g. Zličín, Letňany, Černý Most). Prague has been in it's current administrative (geographic) size since 1970, before the metro was established. This concurrent development process has however made every single part of the city accessible from the center within 30 mins (or 45 mins today due to bedroom community development), which has made ghetto development (from deprived/underserved areas) basically impossible.

​@@serebii666U tramvají to bylo spíše naopak. Nejdřív tramvaj, pak zástavba. Třeba Spořilov, Hostivař...

@@yanweide5560 no tramvaje jsou mnohem starší. Když začaly jezdit koněspřežky, tak byly pro to spojit existující stabilizované čtvrtě (před tím museli všichni žít v docházkové vzdálenosti t.j. 15-30 min pěšky, a např. původní Most Legii neměl nosnou kapacitu, aby po něm mohly jezdit tramvaje). Developmenty jako Spořilov, Zahradní město, Ořechovka, Hanspaulka a Baba byly na základě Garden City konceptu, takže výstavba města a infrastruktury byla vždy vyvinuta souběžně. Musíme si vzpomenout, že v i 30. letech, v celém Československu byla proporce: 1 vozidlo na 147 lidí (a nebo 1 osobní vozidlo na 350 lidí), takže tato součinnost byla nustností pro rozšiřování města.

Phew, if this is small, I don't know..

@@PradedaCech Well, it's even smaller than Prague's metro

@@jankos8673 that's what I meant. If Prague's metro system is small, what about Warsaw? ;)

@@PradedaCech Prague's and Warsaw's systems are pretty similar in size. Both are quite small compared to systems from other videos: Berlin, Barcelona or London

@@jankos8673 I visited Warsaw and their metro is not comparable in size with Prague, they have just 2 short lines compared to like 60 km in Prague. And counting S trains or trains into metro is cheating and we also have them in Prague, so it would be like 200 km with them. 😀

and a plan to build another three until 2050

@@igor3009 Without knowledge when and for what it will be built. Today, they have a problem with ending the second line, and there is a beginning of economic crisis in Poland.

Warsaw is mainly built in plain terrain, Prague is a hilly city, it's only obvious the metro would follow the geographical pattern

...but adding one station per year would be easy for animation

In the future it will have 5 lines

You actually stayed around Namesti Republiky. It's the name of the square above - Republic Square.

the most dangerous station in Prague 😀

Do you make games or something?

These are not real plans, just some ideas, but owners of land will always block everything for years and everything looks totaly different at the end.

If a railway line connected these cities, it would no longer be a "metro".

In EU*. In the whole Europe Moscow and St. Petersburg metro stations are the most beautiful. Seriously, they are awesome.

we are also supposed to have two more lines, line d is already under construction from 2022

@@user-ul5tf8ui6t They are kind of awsome, but it's mostly overdecorated kitsch in social realist style, while in Prague, even during communism, they were building mostly in Brussels style, but many people don't see the difference or call it a "brutalism," but after all, new stations build after 1990 are much uglier, it's very tasteless architecture, especially those stations from 90s.

​@@PidalinThis is not a completely correct comparison, since stations in the style of socialist realism were built in the USSR in the 1930s-50s. And the Prague metro opened in 1974. In Soviet subways, starting from the 60s, the style of modernism was also used, which later turned into brutalism. Although the Prague metro certainly had its differences, it used a lot more tiles, plastic, aluminum and steel. Therefore, at the time of its opening it seemed very futuristic (like the Budapest and Bucharest subways, also opened in the 70s)

Video about this, is on other channel. Find.

The A line is no longer planned to be extended to the airport because in few years there should be built a railway line to connect the airport with direct trains to the city centre (railway station Praha Masarykovo nádraží near the metro station Náměstí Republiky on the B line).

The A line won't be extended, exactly as Kubík said. The reason is that the metro is not running 24/7 which is bad for an airport that has night flights too, the railway instead works nonstop.

Whatever helps with transport to airport during heavy traffic peak. Underground or surface train. Current state is tragic.

A train line to the airport is currently being built/upgraded and planned to be finished in 2030. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Havel_Airport_Prague#Ground_transportation cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rychlodr%C3%A1ha_Praha_%E2%80%93_leti%C5%A1t%C4%9B_Ruzyn%C4%9B_%E2%80%93_Kladno

Train is planned, but I think it's not really a priority because people living in Prague need completely different things than metro to the airport.

And KM regional trians (koleje mazowieckie)

Which ones are wrong/missing?

​@@johannesanophelesDidn't notice anything wrong. There are some names that were used only during construction missing, but otherwise seems fine. (Kolbenova was ČKD after company that went bankrupt before the station was finished, Invalidovna was Hakenova, Českomoravská was Zápotovkého, Hůrka was Slovenského národního povstání (Slovak national uprising), but those names were communist and the stations were renamed before opening. None of those names was actually used when the stations were in service)

@@argo9750 Yeah, I completely agree, that's why I wanted to ask. Thanks for clarification that my eyes are still fine :-)

What do you mean by "originally"? According to the plans from 1990, it was supposed to be already open by 2003.

Kdybysme v tom šťourali takhle, mohlo bejt metro už nejpozdějc za Hitlera.🤣

And some people in the 1950s expected nuclear cars soon..

@@Vojtaniz01 Metro was supposed to open already during first republic. 😀

The floods only really caused the network to have to be renovated. But some stations, were already planned to be, or just had their renovations finished when the floods happened, like Malostranská. The anti-flooding system now in use largely bypasses the metro, whose anti-radiation doors at the entrance to their platforms double as flood blockades.

@@serebii666 Thank you!

​@@serebii666Kdepak. Právě Malostranská, Staroměstská, Hradčanská a Náměstí Míru (poslední jmenovaná zaplavena nebyla) byly rekonstruovány už před povodní, konkrétně v letech 1995-1999, to včetně výměn eskalátorů. Během krátké doby je tak čekala generálka podruhé. Bohužel... Odkaz se hledal hůř, internet tehdy začínal.😉 „Stejným způsobem byly eskalátory vyměněny i na přelomu let 1995 a 1996 (rekonstrukce začala 3. listopadu a skončila 12. července) ve stanici Hradčanská (typ LT3 za OTIS). Vzhledem k tomu, že měla stanice jen jediný výstup (druhý se měl dobudovat roku 1992, ale z toho nakonec sešlo), musela být celá Hradčanská uzavřena a vlaky tudy pouze projížděly. Na přelomu let 1997 a 1998 následovala ještě Staroměstská (znovuotevřena 2. března 1998), poté Náměstí Míru (od 1. července 1998 až do 23. dubna 1999) a nakonec Malostranská (1. července 1999 až 29. března 2000), kde se vyměňovaly celkem dvoje eskalátory a kde zatékalo do hlavního eskalátorového tunelu. Éra starých sovětských pohyblivých schodů typu LT3 se tak v dějinách pražského metra uzavřela.“ cs.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C4%9Bjiny_metra_v_Praze

😈

Not in the near future if ever. But the construction of the railway line (serve by the eSko (s-Bahn) system) to the airport will be starting soon.

You are not right. I was there on 8th may of 2008, riding the second train that was heading to the new final stop in Letňany. I couldn't fit in the first one since it was already packed with people wanting to see the new stations.

@@Vojtaniz01 okay so maybe i am wrong and never noticed that because these stations were nothing important to me by that time. i am so sorry, thank you (sorry for my bad english)

@@cookie1816 Another fun fact - the new bus terminal was put into operation the day after, so on the first day, there was actually no point in travelling to the final station other than to see the station itself.

Pánové, musím se smát, jak se Čech Čechovi omlouvá za snad špatnou angličtinu 🤣🤣🤣

I dont want to praise the commies, but the fact that they were able to build 3 lines in the span of 15 years is very impressive, meanwhile we are struggling to build a single line thats shorter than any of the old ones

@@4tbf616 Because Commies didn't give much shit about anything, besides, it's much easier (and maybe cheaper) to build if everything is owned by the state.

@@4tbf616 The today's problem is legislature. When it was announced where the stations will be, rich people immediately bought all the land they could at those places so they could make extreme profit selling it to the city. It now also has to be more careful to the city as well. Communists just demolished several entire blocks of houses for every station and didn't ask anybody. All the people living there were moved to the newly built panel houses at the outer parts of the city.

@4tbf well the communist government didn't have to worry about those pesky things called "property rights" or "community voices". The Metro was built with no transparency, carving out or bulldozing existing apartment buildings to make space for concourses or tracks. And despite how fast it appeared, the metro was in planning since the 1930s, and had to be completely redesigned in the 1960s when the Soviet Union dictated that it wanted Czechoslovakia to import their much heavier metro carriages, whereas up to that point the metro system wanted to use much lighter carriages that could also go above ground. All the lines were built concurrently, since their purpose was to connect the housing estates in the city periphery that started to get built in the 1960s to the city center.

There are several plans how to extend line D to north, none of them is final.

Main reason for metro D line is to remove terrible traffic jamps in that part of Prague, especially about Thomayer Hospital, there is neverending line of buses and cars now, so connection between B and D lines is not priority now, but I hope they will do it somehow in the future, because change line 2 times to get to the downtown will be pretty annoying.

Hundreds of millions of riders yearly disagree with you that the current network is not useful.. A train line to the airport is currently being built/upgraded. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Havel_Airport_Prague#Ground_transportation cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rychlodr%C3%A1ha_Praha_%E2%80%93_leti%C5%A1t%C4%9B_Ruzyn%C4%9B_%E2%80%93_Kladno

Train to the airport is planned and metro is mainly for native people who don't really need travel to the airport. Highway around planned Nemocnice Krč station is totaly jammed by buses from parts like Libuš or Písnice, this everything will be solved by metro line D. But there are still parts of Prague which would really need metro, like Modřany, but that's near planned D line, so it's gonna be at least faster to get to the metro.
