Half a century of the Prague metro: People can take a ride on historic trains, supervised by VB

On Wednesday, interested parties were already waiting for Kačerov well in advance. And there were also men in historical uniforms, including the uniforms of the Public Safety, i.e. the police at the time.

“We are keeping an eye on the peace here,” one of the members explained his presence.

According to the commemorative plaque on Kačerov, the subway was opened on the 29th anniversary of the liberation of Prague, which according to interpretations at the time was May 9. The first route C initially included nine stations between Sokolovská and Kačerovo.

For the 50th anniversary, the transport company prepared a geolocation game for those interested, installed an exhibition at Kačerov near the bus interchange or published the timetable of historic trains.

“Passengers can look forward to riding the historic five-car set 81-71, the so-called black mushroom, or the reconstructed set 81-71M with the original safety device in one front car, the so-called smokehouse,” said Deputy Mayor Zdeněk Hřib (Pirates). Regular fares apply.

According to Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda (ODS), Prague cannot be imagined today without the metro. “During the flood, for example, it became clear what a key role the subway plays in moving around the capital and how significant a blow its failure is,” he noted.

Metro line A will be shorter by a station for a few days due to the replacement of sleepers
