Treasures of transport projects exhibited
Public Transport Museum has been open to the public since 1993 when Prague Public Transit Company made the decision to show its treasures which had been until then kept in depositary. Apart from a whole range of historical vehicles which are in a permanent exhibition, visitors can see a variety of models, period photographs and historical documents such as tickets or public transport plans.
Many parts of the exhibition also reveal progress through time, extinct switchman shacks or period uniforms of Public Transit Company staff. Beside real vehicles the exhibition shows prototypes of now extinct omnibuses or prototypes of planned tube trains which had never been made. The visitors can see the interiors of many vehicles and sit in a tram which used to run around Prague hundred years ago.
