Description
The project involves; 1. construction of I.D1 of the Prague Metro Line D from Pankrác to Nové Dvory 2. construction of a passenger connection at Pankrác between Metro Lines C and D 3. construction of a rail connection for trains from Line D to access line C 4. construction of 5 metro stations (Pankrác, Olbrachtova, Nadrazi Krc, Nemocnice Krc and Nove Dvory) 5. Procurement of 10 sets of metro trains comprising 5 cars each
Objectives
The new line should diversify public transport options and improve quality of travel in the southern part of the city of Prague, which is currently not served by an underground line, reduce road congestion and associated externalities such as local pollution, contribute towards reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transport as well as improve road safety. Though other public transport services in the area of the proposed metro already exist, it is expected that this project will lead to a modal shift to public transport as metro systems are better placed to compete with private vehicles (as opposed to buses).
