Extended weekend metro in Prague not to arrive until September

The head of the Prague Public Transport Company’s board said on Monday that extended nightly metro service in the Czech capital would not arrive until September. He added that the schedules of some bus lines that stop running before 1 a.m. would be extended so that people could make further connections from metro stations. The board of the Prague Public Transport Co. voted two weeks ago that it would extend services on the city’s underground rail network on Friday and Saturday nights until 1 am. Originally, the board had planned to introduce the new schedule from July 1.
