Five Prague metro stations reopen

Five of Prague’s metro stations reopened on Wednesday, three days after the city’s transport authority closed much of the underground rail network as a precaution in view of the flood situation. Muzeum, Smíchovské nádraží, Kolbenova, Vysočanská, Českomoravská stations are now functioning again. A number of other stations in the centre of the Czech capital remain closed and passengers are making use of substitute bus and tram services. Officials said the entire metro system should be in operation by Friday.
