Prague City Transport announces longer bus and tram intervals

Prague City Transport is temporarily reducing the number of trams and busses in operation. A spokesman for the company said this was in response to lower demand at the start of the year, when the number of passengers regularly drops by about 10 percent. Between now and February 17th tram intervals will be extended from ten to twelve minutes, and from five to six on the main routes. Bus lines will also have longer intervals.
