Prague Integrated Transport (PID)

1. Prague Integrated Transport (PID)

2. Characteristics of the metropolitan area (PID area of interest) • Prague- area 496 km2 • population 1.2 mil. • distance of the city boundary from the centre is 10 km to the north, 18 km to the east, • 14 km to the west and 15 km to the south • Prague transport region – in addition to Prague this region includes a part of the Central Bohemian Region surrounding the city, particularly the entire area of districts Prague-East and Prague-West and parts of adjacent districts • - the boundary is defined by an area reaching 30-40 km from the centre • - population outside Prague - approx. 0.5 mil.

3. Characteristics of public transport network within PID system EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

4. Basic principles, targets and objectives of Prague integrated transport: • Uniform regional transport systembased on a preference of backbone rail transport (railway, metro and trams), bus transport is organized particularly as a follow-up transport to terminals established next to rail transport stops and stations, including also P+R facilities • Uniform transfer tariff systemenabling to travel with all necessary changes using one ticket only 1 Tariff, 1 Ticket, 1 Timetable, 1 Network EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

7. Prague backbone network • metro > backbone railway system for extra-large passenger corridors • suburban railway > more trains, more stops in Prague, higher attractivity for Prague citizens (faster connection from suburbs than by bus) • trams > network optimization: less lines, shorter intervals > combination of backbone tram lines with double-lines with common main part of route • buses > network optimization: less lines, shorter intervals, new tangential connections • backbone bus lines (metrobuses) • complementary bus lines • low capacity minibuses for operation within city quarters • ferries and funicular > complement of basic transport network • simplicity • attractivity • efficiency EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

9. Tariff, fare and ticketing • Tariff is defined in terms of time, zones and the opportunity to change. PID has circular zones. - The area of the City of Prague consists of 4 tariff zones • - External zones are numbered from 1 to 5. • Basic types of tickets: • single transfer tickets for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 zones (paper),valid for 15, 30, 60, 90,120, 150, 180, 210, 240 minutes • short-term season tickets for 24 hours or 3 days (paper) • long-term season tickets for 1, 3, 5, 12 months (smart card) • Passengerswith single tickets validate their tickets in validating machines located on vehicles (3-5 machines depending on the type of the vehicle), at entrances to metro or on railway stations platforms. • Validating machines print the following data on the ticket: time, date, tariff zone and place of validation (metro, railway).

11. Information on ROPID organization • Type of organization: municipal contributory organization (100% owned by City of Prague) • Established: November 1993 • Staff: 55 employees • Organizational structure: Department of Transport Planning Marketing Department Quality Control Department • Department of Technical Development • Economic Department EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

12. Key tasks of ROPID • transport solution of PID system • discussion of traffic solutions and their funding with subsidy providers and transport operators • negotiation of contracts on provision of PID operation and supervision of their performance • organization of financial flows of revenues and subsidies within PID system • draft of tariff and fare within PID system, ticketing • ensuring of a uniform PID information system EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

13. Transport solution of PID system • Coordination of operation of individual transport systems between each other as well as of their internal operation (coordination of timetables, elimination of duplicities, quality improvement of interchange links) with a priority given to rail transport and a supplementary role of bus transport • Specification and control of quality standardsof transport services in the area • - utilization of vehicle capacity • - seated/standing passengers ratio on vehicles (1:2 metro and trams, 1:1 buses) • - max. acceptable intervals between links (10 mins metro and trams, 30 mins buses) • - max. walk distance from stop (400/800 m) • - quality standards by operators (reliability, punctuality, drivers´ behavior, cleanness, passenger information, safety…) EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

14. PID system organization The system has been established as a municipal transport association with ROPID placing orders with transport operators for transport services on behalf of subsidy providers. - City of Prague - suburban municipalities - regional authority Customers Services are ordered from operators based on contracts prepared by ROPID ROPID Transport operators (17) EMTA Conference Prague 24th – 25th May 2012

15. Discussion of traffic solutions and theirfunding with subsidy providers andtransport operators • Partners are the following: • City of Prague - Municipal Council • - Deputy Mayor in charge of transport • Principal plans for the next year are subject to discussion in connection with city budget preparations • Districts of the City of Prague - 57 • Municipalities in the vicinity of Prague - 299 • Regional transport authority in the vicinity of Prague • Subsidies - regional • - from municipalities (Prague = region) • Traffic solutions are discussed with transport operators interms of technical feasibility.
