Prague Transit Authority again seeks to raise fares

Less than a year after substantial fare rises on the Prague public transit system, the authority that oversees Prague’s network of Metros, Trams and buses has announced that it will seek further fare increases. The price hike has been requested because the Prague Transit Authority is seeking to compensate for what it calls a smaller government budget. However, the Prague mayor’s office rejected this, stating that Czech public transport has a budget comparable to or greater than many cities around the world.
