The names in brackets are former names of stations. Also, I remember, when I was in Prague in 2017 for a weekend and we rode the system's triangle, and we ever visited the Prague Public Transportation Museum, which, like metro, is operated by DPP. It's near Malostranska station.

It would be great to see how the city developed through the years with subway. You are making subway lines on actual maps, but in 70s was Prague way smaller.
The metro was always playing catch up to developments. Prague first started building its panel estates in the city periphery (in green fields) and as construction on them was underway, they started building the metro to give those estates access to the city center. Post 1990s development also only saw the metro expand to already existing developments, mostly historic villages (Palmovka, Hloubětín, Hostivař, Radlická) that had become integrated in to the city or had new logistical centers established around them (e.g. Zličín, Letňany, Černý Most). Prague has been in it's current administrative (geographic) size since 1970, before the metro was established. This concurrent development process has however made every single part of the city accessible from the center within 30 mins (or 45 mins today due to bedroom community development), which has made ghetto development (from deprived/underserved areas) basically impossible.
@@yanweide5560 no tramvaje jsou mnohem starší. Když začaly jezdit koněspřežky, tak byly pro to spojit existující stabilizované čtvrtě (před tím museli všichni žít v docházkové vzdálenosti t.j. 15-30 min pěšky, a např. původní Most Legii neměl nosnou kapacitu, aby po něm mohly jezdit tramvaje).

In my opinion, Prague metro is one of the most beautiful metro systems in Europe. I've been in the UK, Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Croatia, Greece etc... Of course, in these countires, metro systems are beautiful aswell, but It's really large underground system. But Prague metro is a small, three liner system, where the stations are designed very nicely.
@@Любадрель-у9з They are kind of awsome, but it's mostly overdecorated kitsch in social realist style, while in Prague, even during communism, they were building mostly in Brussels style, but many people don't see the difference or call it a "brutalism," but after all, new stations build after 1990 are much uglier, it's very tasteless architecture, especially those stations from 90s.
@@PidalinThis is not a completely correct comparison, since stations in the style of socialist realism were built in the USSR in the 1930s-50s. And the Prague metro opened in 1974.

Therefore, at the time of its opening it seemed very futuristic (like the Budapest and Bucharest subways, also opened in the 70s)
Prague public transportation system including Metro, Tram and Bus network is excellent. However, only one thing I should like to say, please extend Metro or Tram to Václav Havel Airport Prague！
A train line to the airport is currently being built/upgraded and planned to be finished in 2030. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Havel_Airport_Prague#Ground_transportation cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rychlodr%C3%A1ha_Praha_%E2%80%93_leti%C5%A1t%C4%9B_Ruzyn%C4%9B_%E2%80%93_Kladno

@@johannesanophelesDidn't notice anything wrong. There are some names that were used only during construction missing, but otherwise seems fine. (Kolbenova was ČKD after company that went bankrupt before the station was finished, Invalidovna was Hakenova, Českomoravská was Zápotovkého, Hůrka was Slovenského národního povstání (Slovak national uprising), but those names were communist and the stations were renamed before opening. None of those names was actually used when the stations were in service)
We hope that line D will be extended from the Náměstí Míru station to the Hlavní nádraží station, which will be separated from the C line to the Náměstí Republiky metro station with a transfer to the B line further under the Vltava river to the new Letenské náměstí station and the Hradčanská station, where it could be terminated.
The floods only really caused the network to have to be renovated. But some stations, were already planned to be, or just had their renovations finished when the floods happened, like Malostranská. The anti-flooding system now in use largely bypasses the metro, whose anti-radiation doors at the entrance to their platforms double as flood blockades.
@@serebii666Kdepak. Právě Malostranská, Staroměstská, Hradčanská a Náměstí Míru (poslední jmenovaná zaplavena nebyla) byly rekonstruovány už před povodní, konkrétně v letech 1995-1999, to včetně výměn eskalátorů. Během krátké doby je tak čekala generálka podruhé. Bohužel... Odkaz se hledal hůř, internet tehdy začínal.😉 „Stejným způsobem byly eskalátory vyměněny i na přelomu let 1995 a 1996 (rekonstrukce začala 3. listopadu a skončila 12. července) ve stanici Hradčanská (typ LT3 za OTIS). Vzhledem k tomu, že měla stanice jen jediný výstup (druhý se měl dobudovat roku 1992, ale z toho nakonec sešlo), musela být celá Hradčanská uzavřena a vlaky tudy pouze projížděly. Na přelomu let 1997 a 1998 následovala ještě Staroměstská (znovuotevřena 2. března 1998), poté Náměstí Míru (od 1. července 1998 až do 23. dubna 1999) a nakonec Malostranská (1. července 1999 až 29. března 2000), kde se vyměňovaly celkem dvoje eskalátory a kde zatékalo do hlavního eskalátorového tunelu. Éra starých sovětských pohyblivých schodů typu LT3 se tak v dějinách pražského metra uzavřela.“ cs.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C4%9Bjiny_metra_v_Praze
I dont want to praise the commies, but the fact that they were able to build 3 lines in the span of 15 years is very impressive, meanwhile we are struggling to build a single line thats shorter than any of the old ones
@@4tbf616 Because Commies didn't give much shit about anything, besides, it's much easier (and maybe cheaper) to build if everything is owned by the state.
@@4tbf616 The today's problem is legislature. When it was announced where the stations will be, rich people immediately bought all the land they could at those places so they could make extreme profit selling it to the city. It now also has to be more careful to the city as well. Communists just demolished several entire blocks of houses for every station and didn't ask anybody. All the people living there were moved to the newly built panel houses at the outer parts of the city.
@4tbf well the communist government didn't have to worry about those pesky things called "property rights" or "community voices". The Metro was built with no transparency, carving out or bulldozing existing apartment buildings to make space for concourses or tracks. And despite how fast it appeared, the metro was in planning since the 1930s, and had to be completely redesigned in the 1960s when the Soviet Union dictated that it wanted Czechoslovakia to import their much heavier metro carriages, whereas up to that point the metro system wanted to use much lighter carriages that could also go above ground. All the lines were built concurrently, since their purpose was to connect the housing estates in the city periphery that started to get built in the 1960s to the city center.
You missed the planned extension of A to the Airport! I can't wait for that extension as it means (hopefully) a less crowded and time restricted AE in use.
The A line is no longer planned to be extended to the airport because in few years there should be built a railway line to connect the airport with direct trains to the city centre (railway station Praha Masarykovo nádraží near the metro station Náměstí Republiky on the B line).
The A line won't be extended, exactly as Kubík said. The reason is that the metro is not running 24/7 which is bad for an airport that has night flights too, the railway instead works nonstop.
good video - just one think to sey in Prague is planed 5 line of metro called O or E it will be a circle line araund Prague. But works on this line will be startet minimal 30 year in the future.
This is going to be an extremely long comment 1974 : The first section of the Prague Metro opens, Line C opens (why not Line A instead) 1978 : Line A (what is on with these weird skips) opens, the first interchange station is created (Muzeum) 1980 : Very suprisingly, Line C extends to Háje, which is till today, the southern terminus of Line C. 1980 is 43 years ago! Line A extends 1984 : Line C extends 1985 : Line B opens, creating the rest of the interchange stations (Florence and Můstek) This is also the first(and only) line to have a interchange station as the terminus. 1987 : Line A extends 1988 : Line B extends 1990 : Line A extends, Line B extends 1994 : Even more shocking, Line B, extends to is current western terminus, Zličín. Remember line B is the last to open. 1994 is actually one year from 30 years ago. 1998 : THE MOST SHOCKING, Line B, the last line to open, extends to the current eastern terminus, Černý Most. It is the last to open and the first to finish the line! 1999 : Line B opens an infill station. 2001 : Line B opens the last infill station, officially finishing the line faster than other lines. 2004 : Line C extends after 20 years, but still hasn't extended to the northern terminus yet. 2006 : Line A extends after 16 years, and extends to the current eastern terminus. 2008 : Line C, the first to open, is the second to finish the line. 2015 : The last extension from now, Line A extends to the current western terminus, finishing the system we are seeing right now. But wait! There's more! FUTURE EXPANSIONS: 2029 : Line D opens, and once again we have a new interchange/terminus station. 2030 : Line D extends, and creates another interchange/terminus station. This is, maybe the last extension?... Fun fact : There is a Circle Line that is in planning. It would unfortunately lost the specialness of the Prague Metro Map since it will look like a normal metro. Non-existant extensions: I am not from Prague, but why has Line D not planned to extend to Florenc? It will maybe be the only triple interchange station, and makes everyone commuting to Line B from Line D a quicker time.
LIne D is planned to extend to Hlavní nádraží and Náměstí Republiky, where the change to line B is planned. Then maybe an extension to Karlín and Žižkov. Triple exchanges in stations that weren't designed for them aren't a great idea.
Please, make a video about Warsaw mass transit system! (WKD+SKM+metro). In last weeks there was announced a document about a future of metro in Warsaw and we know something about few new SKM (railway) lines
Hundreds of millions of riders yearly disagree with you that the current network is not useful.. A train line to the airport is currently being built/upgraded. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A1clav_Havel_Airport_Prague#Ground_transportation cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rychlodr%C3%A1ha_Praha_%E2%80%93_leti%C5%A1t%C4%9B_Ruzyn%C4%9B_%E2%80%93_Kladno
Train to the airport is planned and metro is mainly for native people who don't really need travel to the airport. Highway around planned Nemocnice Krč station is totaly jammed by buses from parts like Libuš or Písnice, this everything will be solved by metro line D. But there are still parts of Prague which would really need metro, like Modřany, but that's near planned D line, so it's gonna be at least faster to get to the metro.
You are not right. I was there on 8th may of 2008, riding the second train that was heading to the new final stop in Letňany. I couldn't fit in the first one since it was already packed with people wanting to see the new stations.
@@Vojtaniz01 okay so maybe i am wrong and never noticed that because these stations were nothing important to me by that time. i am so sorry, thank you (sorry for my bad english)
@@cookie1816 Another fun fact - the new bus terminal was put into operation the day after, so on the first day, there was actually no point in travelling to the final station other than to see the station itself.
Main reason for metro D line is to remove terrible traffic jamps in that part of Prague, especially about Thomayer Hospital, there is neverending line of buses and cars now, so connection between B and D lines is not priority now, but I hope they will do it somehow in the future, because change line 2 times to get to the downtown will be pretty annoying.
I like simple system that covers most of the city core, and Prague is one of them

Litteraly got lost in there when I was 15.
All because the metro vehicles didn't have alarms on the outside to alert if the doors are closing.

Great video !
We hope that line D will be extended from the Náměstí Míru station to the Hlavní nádraží station, which will be separated from the C line to the Náměstí Republiky metro station with a transfer to the B line further under the Vltava river to the new Letenské náměstí station and the Hradčanská station, where it could be terminated.
Realy nice animation, I am from CZ
Nice video
Do Santo Domingo they have doing a lot of expanding with their metro and adding a new line
Did you forgot about 2002 Prague flood? it affected much of the metro system.
The floods only really caused the network to have to be renovated. But some stations, were already planned to be, or just had their renovations finished when the floods happened, like Malostranská. The anti-flooding system now in use largely bypasses the metro, whose anti-radiation doors at the entrance to their platforms double as flood blockades.
@@serebii666 Thank you!
@@serebii666Kdepak. Právě Malostranská, Staroměstská, Hradčanská a Náměstí Míru (poslední jmenovaná zaplavena nebyla) byly rekonstruovány už před povodní, konkrétně v letech 1995-1999, to včetně výměn eskalátorů.
Během krátké doby je tak čekala generálka podruhé. Bohužel...
Odkaz se hledal hůř, internet tehdy začínal.😉
„Stejným způsobem byly eskalátory vyměněny i na přelomu let 1995 a 1996 (rekonstrukce začala 3. listopadu a skončila 12. července) ve stanici Hradčanská (typ LT3 za OTIS). Vzhledem k tomu, že měla stanice jen jediný výstup (druhý se měl dobudovat roku 1992, ale z toho nakonec sešlo), musela být celá Hradčanská uzavřena a vlaky tudy pouze projížděly. Na přelomu let 1997 a 1998 následovala ještě Staroměstská (znovuotevřena 2. března 1998), poté Náměstí Míru (od 1. července 1998 až do 23. dubna 1999) a nakonec Malostranská (1. července 1999 až 29. března 2000), kde se vyměňovaly celkem dvoje eskalátory a kde zatékalo do hlavního eskalátorového tunelu. Éra starých sovětských pohyblivých schodů typu LT3 se tak v dějinách pražského metra uzavřela.“

I dont want to praise the commies, but the fact that they were able to build 3 lines in the span of 15 years is very impressive, meanwhile we are struggling to build a single line thats shorter than any of the old ones
@@4tbf616 Because Commies didn't give much shit about anything, besides, it's much easier (and maybe cheaper) to build if everything is owned by the state.
@@4tbf616 The today's problem is legislature. When it was announced where the stations will be, rich people immediately bought all the land they could at those places so they could make extreme profit selling it to the city. It now also has to be more careful to the city as well. Communists just demolished several entire blocks of houses for every station and didn't ask anybody. All the people living there were moved to the newly built panel houses at the outer parts of the city.
@4tbf well the communist government didn't have to worry about those pesky things called "property rights" or "community voices". The Metro was built with no transparency, carving out or bulldozing existing apartment buildings to make space for concourses or tracks. And despite how fast it appeared, the metro was in planning since the 1930s, and had to be completely redesigned in the 1960s when the Soviet Union dictated that it wanted Czechoslovakia to import their much heavier metro carriages, whereas up to that point the metro system wanted to use much lighter carriages that could also go above ground. All the lines were built concurrently, since their purpose was to connect the housing estates in the city periphery that started to get built in the 1960s to the city center.
Budapest pls🤩
can you make this with the Budapest Metro?
Could U do The Tashkent metro?
It's funny that i am in Prague Metro rn 😂
You missed the planned extension of A to the Airport! I can't wait for that extension as it means (hopefully) a less crowded and time restricted AE in use.
The A line is no longer planned to be extended to the airport because in few years there should be built a railway line to connect the airport with direct trains to the city centre (railway station Praha Masarykovo nádraží near the metro station Náměstí Republiky on the B line).
The A line won't be extended, exactly as Kubík said. The reason is that the metro is not running 24/7 which is bad for an airport that has night flights too, the railway instead works nonstop.
Whatever helps with transport to airport during heavy traffic peak. Underground or surface train. Current state is tragic.
One for Sydney Trains please
Nice video! Can you make Klang Valley for the next video or in the future please.
Al fin, lo estaba esperando
Now please make a video about Bratislava Metro......oh wait. Nevermind.

This is going to be an extremely long comment
1974 : The first section of the Prague Metro opens, Line C opens (why not Line A instead)
1978 : Line A (what is on with these weird skips) opens, the first interchange station is created (Muzeum)
1980 : Very suprisingly, Line C extends to Háje, which is till today, the southern terminus of Line C. 1980 is 43 years ago! Line A extends
1984 : Line C extends
1985 : Line B opens, creating the rest of the interchange stations (Florence and Můstek) This is also the first(and only) line to have a interchange station as the terminus.
1987 : Line A extends
1988 : Line B extends
1990 : Line A extends, Line B extends
1994 : Even more shocking, Line B, extends to is current western terminus, Zličín. Remember line B is the last to open. 1994 is actually one year from 30 years ago.
1998 : THE MOST SHOCKING, Line B, the last line to open, extends to the current eastern terminus, Černý Most. It is the last to open and the first to finish the line!
1999 : Line B opens an infill station.
2001 : Line B opens the last infill station, officially finishing the line faster than other lines.
2004 : Line C extends after 20 years, but still hasn't extended to the northern terminus yet.
2006 : Line A extends after 16 years, and extends to the current eastern terminus.
2008 : Line C, the first to open, is the second to finish the line.
2015 : The last extension from now, Line A extends to the current western terminus, finishing the system we are seeing right now. But wait! There's more!
FUTURE EXPANSIONS:
2029 : Line D opens, and once again we have a new interchange/terminus station.
2030 : Line D extends, and creates another interchange/terminus station. This is, maybe the last extension?...
Fun fact : There is a Circle Line that is in planning. It would unfortunately lost the specialness of the Prague Metro Map since it will look like a normal metro.
Non-existant extensions:
I am not from Prague, but why has Line D not planned to extend to Florenc? It will maybe be the only triple interchange station, and makes everyone commuting to Line B from Line D a quicker time.
LIne D is planned to extend to Hlavní nádraží and Náměstí Republiky, where the change to line B is planned. Then maybe an extension to Karlín and Žižkov. Triple exchanges in stations that weren't designed for them aren't a great idea.
"Line D opens in 2029" you really believe that? 😀 I am 32 years old and I hear about line D "soon" for almost whole my life.
@@PidalinIt Is under construction now.
Planned line in the future is also Line O. You missed.
I loved using this system on Deux Ex Mankind Divided.

Is there any chance that the Metro will ever go to some were that could actual be useful, like the Airport?
Hundreds of millions of riders yearly disagree with you that the current network is not useful..
A train line to the airport is currently being built/upgraded.

Train to the airport is planned and metro is mainly for native people who don't really need travel to the airport. Highway around planned Nemocnice Krč station is totaly jammed by buses from parts like Libuš or Písnice, this everything will be solved by metro line D. But there are still parts of Prague which would really need metro, like Modřany, but that's near planned D line, so it's gonna be at least faster to get to the metro.
Do evolution of southeastern or southern
if i am right, line c was not extended to Letňany because i am born in 2009 and remember a day when it was extended ;)
You are not right. I was there on 8th may of 2008, riding the second train that was heading to the new final stop in Letňany. I couldn't fit in the first one since it was already packed with people wanting to see the new stations.
@@Vojtaniz01 okay so maybe i am wrong and never noticed that because these stations were nothing important to me by that time. i am so sorry, thank you (sorry for my bad english)
@@cookie1816 Another fun fact - the new bus terminal was put into operation the day after, so on the first day, there was actually no point in travelling to the final station other than to see the station itself.
Pánové, musím se smát, jak se Čech Čechovi omlouvá za snad špatnou angličtinu 🤣🤣🤣
finally!!
It's a shame there's no planned connection between the B and D lines
There are several plans how to extend line D to north, none of them is final.
Main reason for metro D line is to remove terrible traffic jamps in that part of Prague, especially about Thomayer Hospital, there is neverending line of buses and cars now, so connection between B and D lines is not priority now, but I hope they will do it somehow in the future, because change line 2 times to get to the downtown will be pretty annoying.
