TimeOut ranks Prague's public transport as the second best in the world
Prague has the second-best transport system in the world, according to a survey by leisure magazine TimeOut.

In the 2022 Expat Insider report, Prague was also ranked the second-best city for transit and travel options, out of 50 countries internationally assessed. A separate 2019 study, for example, found that Prague had the sixth-fastest public transport in the world. 

Extremely high in use
Prague’s metro system is used by approximately 1 million people daily. Its comprehensive tram network – with over 800 vehicles in operation – transports about 800,000 people every day. Buses carried 418 million people in pre-Covid 2019, with a 1,000-plus fleet. In 2017, the city’s public transit was ranked the fifth-best in the world by the International Automobile Federation. 

 

Future plans and funding
Prague is also investing heavily in improving the city’s public transport – in March it confirmed it would spend about CZK 11.5 billion on transport-related developments. Metro line D alone will take up CZK 5 billion of this funding.
