E15: Prague set to raise transport fares, parking fees

Prague plans to raise public transport fares and parking fees in the capital’s blue zones to help offset lost revenue due to the coronavirus pandemic, the news server E15.cz reports.

Prague councillor Hana Marvanová said a number of proposals were put forward this week to increase almost all fare tariffs, with the cost of an annual pass to rise to CZK 5,500 from the current rate of CZK 3,650.

Deputy Minister for Transport Adam Scheinherr said the city is also discussing various options with the Prague Transport Company to cut costs.
