Prague Integrated Transport

What Prague Integrated Transport does

Prague Integrated Transport (Pražská integrovaná doprava, "PID") is the publicly-funded integrated multi-modal public transport system serving Prague and the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The system is organized by ROPID (Regionální organizátor pražské integrované dopravy, příspěvková organizace), a contributory organization established by the City of Prague and co-funded with the Central Bohemian Region (Středočeský kraj), with related regional coordination handled by IDSK (Integrovaná doprava Středočeského kraje). PID unifies seven transport modes — Metro (lines A–D), trams, urban and regional buses, trolleybuses, regional trains, ferries across the Vltava, and the Petřín funicular — under a single zonal tariff with multi-modal tickets, including monthly/annual subscriptions and the PID Lítačka mobile app.

The technical platform comprises the PID Lítačka mobile application for ticketing, journey planning, and real-time information; the mapa.pid.cz online vehicle position map; an open data portal (Otevřená data PID) publishing GTFS/network data; the MOS-certified electronic fare collection standard; and demand-responsive transport via PID Haló. Distribution is multi-channel: ticket vending machines, physical info centers across Prague and regional cities (Benešov, Kutná Hora, Mladá Boleslav, Příbram, Rakovník), the mobile PID Point service vehicle, and digital channels including website, mobile app, and social media (Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram). The operator network spans DPP (urban metro/tram/bus/trolleybus), ČD and KŽC Doprava (rail), and regional bus operators Arriva Střední Čechy and ČSAD Polkost.

PID earns revenue from farebox sales (single tickets, short-term fares, long-term subscriptions, regional fares, baggage/dog fees) and from public service obligation contracts with the City of Prague and the Central Bohemian Region that compensate for accessibility and network coverage obligations. It serves daily urban commuters, suburban and regional passengers travelling between Prague and surrounding towns, and tourists using services such as Cyklohráček and Pražský motoráček. The entity is not a commercial enterprise in the conventional sense — there is no disclosed revenue, no equity funding, and no parent company other than the City of Prague — but rather a publicly-funded transit monopoly undergoing continuous geographic and modal expansion, including 2026 cross-regional integration with the South Bohemian IDESKA system.
