NEW PRAGUE PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFOCENTRE at Main Train Station (Portal of Prague)

Even before the new information centre of Prague Public Transit Company (PPTC) at the Main train station opened, tourists arriving in Prague had started gathering. This centre has become the sixth information centre of PPTC, which transports in total about one million passengers a year.

Great help to tourists and Prague residents

“Compared to the ticket sale places situated at metro stations, the centres offer a wider range of services. Passengers will obtain complex information and advice regarding Prague integrated transport here, also in English and at least one other foreign language. Apart from information on prices and connections, people will also be assisted in non-standard situations here,” said Tomáš Hudeček, the Mayor of Prague. It includes, for instance, locating a delayed connection or assistance with the search for belongings left behind on public transport.

Ticket sale and all the information about public transport

The centre will also enable passengers to buy single-journey tickets, the full range of tickets available to be downloaded on an Opencard, printed timetables or commemorative publications about Prague public transport. Public transport network maps and information about tariffs, permanent and temporary changes are available for passengers free of charge.

Information centre was needed

“By opening an information centre at the busy Main train station, the Public transit company meets the needs of international and domestic clients who arrive in our city by train. These people in particular use public transport to travel around Prague,” said Jaroslav Ďuriš, the CEO of PPTC.
