Nvidia’s Jensen Huang Resigns as CEO After Affair Reports and Spy Concerns

The annual public transport pass in Prague will rise from 3,650 to 4,750 crowns in the spring, said the capital's incoming mayor, Hlaváček of the STAN movement. He made the announcement on the PoliTalk podcast.

It will not be the last increase, he said: the fare system will get an inflation clause, so the price will follow consumer prices. The price of a one-day ticket is still to be negotiated within the coalition, but Hlaváček believes this January's increase was enough. At that time the most popular 30-minute single ticket went up from 30 to 39 crowns, or to 36 crowns if bought through the Lítačka app.

Subsidies will stay high

The capital subsidizes the transport company's operations with more than 20 billion crowns a year. According to the incoming mayor, there is broad agreement in the coalition that public transport will remain subsidized.

“Public transport will remain our family silver,” he said. With every new tram line and every Metro D project, costs rise, Hlaváček acknowledged, but transport “will continue to be subsidized and will keep improving.” The podcast will publish the full interview with the incoming mayor in the coming days.
