Innovations on Timetable Portal (Portal of Prague)

At the beginning of March 2014, ROPID put into operation a number of larger and smaller innovations of its own web services. The greatest innovations concern the Timetable Portal operating at http://portalpid.idos.cz/.

Train timetables

Stations’ timetables have been added to the Timetables Portal (at present only in a test mode). Such timetables can be commonly seen at bigger railway stations and Prague Integrated Transport (PIT) stops. So far, such timetables have only been available in an inconsistent form. Now they are presented in a standard form, just like any other PIT timetable. It is therefore possible to download a timetable for a particular PIT train station. Note that the stations’ timetables are in a test mode and do not necessarily contain all (especially short-term) diversions.

Order a timetable

Another significant innovation of the portal is the option to register to receive timetables on your e-mail in relation to a particular stop regardless of specific lines. So far, it has only been possible to receive timetables for a specified line of a particular station. Now the order is tied to the name of the station and the system sends the user timetables of all lines stopping at the particular station. The advantage of this is that passengers do not need to follow what lines currently stop at the station (temporarily or permanently). The system detects the change itself and sends the timetables of all the lines that stop at the station.
