Help improve orientation in Prague II
Help the new wayfinding in putting an end to lose oneself in the streets of Prague
Who hasn’t lost one’s way in our capital city? It happens even to native Praguers, let alone casual visitors. Today, there are multiple unrelated systems for navigating pedestrians, cyclists and travelers in Prague. It is a bleak situation, yet something can be done about it.
Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) for a better life in the metropolis
The current information system has its roots in the 1970s and 1980s. It reflects the time of its creation and suffers from the layers of more or less conceptual updates. We are taking the best of it and building on this foundation to create a sophisticated navigation system that will improve everyday life in the city, whether you move around on your own, choose a mode of transport or a combination of the two.
Our project Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) introduces a city wayfinding aimed at improving the quality of life for all those who navigate the metropolis. In such metropolitan jungles, you can easily find the entrance to the metro/underground/subway, get to the right platform or simply orient yourself on the streets or at traffic junctions. All you have to do is look around you a bit.
The author of Prague wayfinding design, which resulted from an international competition, is a Czech team consisting of the graphic design studio Side2, the atelier A69, and the architect and typography studio Superior Type.
Pedestrian trial operation at Holešovická tržnice
The gradual deployment of the new unified information system has already begun. It was tested at the Palmovka metro station in spring, where passengers have been orienting themselves according to the new features since last September.
These days we are running yet another trial this time for pedestrians at Holešovická tržnice near the freshly opened Štvanická lávka.
Thorough exploration and testing
A proper design approach simply cannot be done without thorough exploration and testing. And the experience from the field is extremely valuable and important. They help us to improve the system of Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) and to prepare it for the city-wide rollout.
UX designer Dominika Potužáková from Bohemia design & research is exploring the user experience, inclusivity and accessibility of the features of Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) in real life.
Test the new pedestrian navigation system with us
For the new pedestrian navigation system to serve everyone well, we need to test its functionality with different types of users – locals who know the city by heart, people who commute to Prague for work and are always in a hurry, tourists who don’t speak Czech but want to fully enjoy all its beauty, individuals with temporary or permanent mobility, vision, hearing, or other impairments, dog persons, parents with strollers, hikers with suitcases and backpacks, retirees, children, and everyone else.
We all have many common and a number of specific requirements that quality design and architecture help address, which is why we want to know yours! All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire.
Whether you are part of any group, whether you walk, use public transportation, a car, a bicycle, or combine all options, your feedback will help us incorporate your needs into the emerging wayfinding and make it the best for everyone.
How will the usability research take place?
During the usability research, we will stand nearby obelisk and signpost, give you a few tasks to perform with the wayfinding system in place and observe your reactions to the features of the new navigation system installed at Holešovická tržnice. After this, we will have a detailed discussion with you to understand the clarity, legibility and functionality of the new system.
For a 30-minute interview at the location respondents will be rewarded with a gift package and the opportunity to be among those who help make Prague more legible for everyone.
Would you like to be part of our research and help to ensure that no one gets lost in Prague again?

Help improve orientation in Prague
Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) will conduct a users’ survey at Palmovka. Anyone can take part.
The end of getting lost in Prague and how you can contribute to it
Who hasn’t lost one’s way in our capital city? It happens even to native Praguers, let alone casual visitors. Today, there are multiple unrelated systems for navigating pedestrians, cyclists and travellers in Prague. It is a bleak situation, yet something can be done about it.
Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) for a better life in the metropolis
The current information system has its roots in the 1970s and 1980s. It reflects the time of its creation and suffers from the layers of more or less conceptual updates. We are taking the best of it and building on this foundation to create a sophisticated navigation system that will improve everyday life in the city, whether you move around on your own, choose a mode of transport or a combination of the two.
Our project, Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague), builds on functional solutions of such systems found in other metropolises. In such metropolitan jungles, you can easily find the entrance to the metro/underground/subway, get to the right platform or simply orient yourself on the streets or at traffic junctions. All you have to do is look around you a bit.
Trial operation at Palmovka
The project, Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague), is a smart information system on the streets and public transport of a modern city. The author of its design, which appeared at an international competition, is a Czech team consisting of the graphic design studio Side2, the atelier A69, and the architect and typography studio Superior Type.
The gradual deployment of the new unified information system has already begun. It is being tested at the Palmovka metro station, where passengers have been orienting themselves according to the new features for several months.
For the new navigation system to serve everyone well, we need to test its functionality with different types of users, whether they are working people, children or students, people with reduced mobility, the elderly or foreigners. UX designer Dominika Potužáková, designers and researchers from Stride XL are exploring the user experience, inclusivity and accessibility of the features of Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) in real life.
A proper design approach simply cannot be done without thorough exploration and testing. And the experience from the field is extremely valuable and important. They help us to improve the system of Čitelná Praha (Legible Prague) and to prepare it for the city-wide rollout.
Test the new navigation system
And you can help us with that too! All you have to do is fill out a questionnaire, through which we can reach out to you for a 90-minute interview* to get valuable feedback on how the new wayfinding system works. Selected participants will be rewarded with a voucher for 700 CZK* and the opportunity to be the ones to have helped make Prague more legible for all the people who move around in it, including you personally.
* Note: interview with children and parents takes 60 minutes and will be rewarded with a voucher for 500 CZK.
Join the survey here.
Walking tours combined with detailed interviews, whose participants will be selected from the completed questionnaires, are one of the ways we gather feedback. The second method of data collection we use in our project is observation of metro users’ behavior in real-life situations, combined with short interviews in the field. So don’t be surprised if you are approached by one of our researchers at Palmovka.
How will the interview take place?
During a group walk, we will walk with selected users all the way from the platform to the surface and back. We will simulate situations that you experience on a daily basis and observe your reactions to the features of the new navigation system installed at Palmovka. After this walk, we will have a detailed discussion with you to understand the clarity, legibility and functionality of the new system.
Fill out our questionnaire and be the one to help make Prague more legible for the people who move around in it, including you personally.
Legible Prague. Experts from around the world will sit on the Jury of an international competition for a new wayfinding system of the Czech capital.
At the end of this summer ROPID (Regional Organizer of Prague Integrated Transport) will announce an international design competition for a new wayfinding system of public transport and the area of the Czech capital, Prague. Together with Czechdesign, an experienced design competition organizer, they now present the Jury board which will decide on the winning design.
Aim of the competition
The aim of this competition is to select a team of experts, which shows capability to create a smart city navigation system fit for all citizens and visitors of the metropolis. The task will be to design a complex solution with emphasis on unity and legibility, which makes it easier for the public to move around the city.
„We realize that the competition results will imprint a new modern face on everything related to urban mobility for decades to come and that is why Prague pays a great deal of attention to this project. We believe that a new wayfinding system for Prague will become a design icon, thanks to which people from around the world will easily get to know our metropolis and we will help them not to get lost in it,” adds Petr Tomčík, the director of competition announcer, city organization ROPID.
Competition process
A limited two-stage design competition counts on the participation of both Czech and international teams, who will apply with their portfolios of relevant projects. An international Jury consisting of respected experts will then select competitors who will be invited into the first stage of the competition. Their task in this phase will be to process a complex assignment for the design of an overall information-navigation system concept with a practical typography and colour scale representation and especially functional principles all presented on various 3D models.
Presented solutions will be anonymously evaluated by the Jury board of which the most successful will be invited into the second stage of the competition. The exact number of participants in both stages will be specified within the competition announcement.
The Jury board and its importance
The Jury will consist of a dependent and independent part represented by 4 to 5 votes. The dependent part represents all the main stakeholders influencing urban mobility in Prague, independent jurors were approached from among leading Czech and global experts not only on graphic design or architecture, but above all on the complex discipline of information and wayfinding design.
„Our experience has proved many times that a well-established team of independent jurors is one of the most important factors in determining the quality and weightiness of the competition. It directly affects not only the process and results of the competition but also the motivation to sign up for potential contestants. We are thrilled that we have been able to connect Czech and foreign experts whose experiences are highly complementary. We believe that the selected jury team will make an important contribution to achieving a quality result of the new Prague wayfinding system,” said Jana Vinšová, Director of the Competition Administrator, Czechdesign.
Dependent Jury
The dependent Jury will consist of representatives of key stakeholders of this emerging unifying system, nominally Ing. et Ing. Petr Tomčík (director of ROPID), Ing. Adam Scheinherr, MSc., Ph.D. (councilor for transport – Prague City Hall), Rostislav Zapletal, Dis. (architecture competitions specialist – Prague Institute of Planning and Development), and MgA.

A new visual style for public transport in Prague and Central Bohemia
The Integrated Transport System, which covers all public transport in Prague and the Central Bohemian region, servicing 3 million people on more than 600 lines with 5 000 vehicles operated by 35 carriers, is getting a new unified look. The logo is changing together with additional graphical elements, including a new uniform design for all vehicles. The approved design came from a 2019 competition in which a jury composed of independent experts and representatives of the city of Prague and the Central Bohemian region selected the proposal submitted by the superlative.works studio. All newly ordered vehicles will be purchased in a combination of red and light grey in vertical stripes.
The aim of the new unified design for the PID was to present the public transport service as a modern, but more importantly easily readable and consistent 21st century system, as well as to make orientation easier and ensure that passengers can always find all the information they need intuitively in the same or similar places regardless of the mode of transport or carrier. Because the PID system is currently being extended throughout the entire Central Bohemian region, it needs a new modern look that would correspond with its full coverage of public transport in the city of Prague and the region, to ensure that users can tell at a glance that their PID ticket will be valid in the given vehicle. Until now, there were two different graphical manuals for bus lines in Prague and in the Central Bohemian region. Trains, trams and metro cars had no unified design at all.
The new design was also developed with wheelchair users and parents with prams in mind. Navigation will be much more user-friendly and easier to read. Today people have to pay attention to small stickers by the side of the door that are no longer visible once the door opens. Instead, the new style uses clear and distinctive guidance that is impossible to miss.
From 2022, the new graphical manual will be a binding annex to the PID quality standards which apply to all PID carriers in Prague and the Central Bohemian region, including bus carriers selected in the upcoming 2024 tender. Ultimately, the PID system will include about 700 metro cars, 900 trams, 350 trains and 3 000 buses; it should also include Prague trolleybuses for which a major comeback is being planned.
Details on the new PID logo and vehicle designs
The new look utilises the colour red as the connecting link between Prague and the Central Bohemian region because it is the traditional colour of the iconic T3 tram (the new design is actually using the same shade of red as the T3). Red and white are also the colours of the Prague logo; red is prominently featured also in the logo of the Central Bohemian region. Red is combined with light grey to unify the current patchwork system in which every vehicle looks slightly different. The current system uses at least 12 different shades of colour (not counting trains where there are even more than that); the new solution expects to use only 3 colours everywhere (including trains).
The most striking feature of the new visual style are red vertical stripes. These will improve safety, visibility at a distance and orientation when boarding, as they usually mark where the doors are located. These colours will also make public transport in Prague and the Central Bohemian region unmistakeable from other neighbouring systems. The selected shade of grey will also improve the perceived cleanliness of the vehicles, because the currently used white becomes dirty very quickly in normal traffic. A more prominent use of the PID logo will increase awareness of the unified system for all modes of transport.
IMPORTANT: Public transport during COVID-19 outbreak
With regard to the Government declaration of a state of emergency and a nationwide quarantine and related measures (e.g. restriction of free movement of people outside of their homes and workplaces, prohibition of all public events and closing of all primary and secondary schools and universities) the following temporary measures are introduced in public transport:
It is obligatory that all passengers must cover their mouth and nose (it is possible to use a home-made mask or scarf) in all vehicles and on all stops and stations of public transport.
Metro: operation maintained (with slightly longer intervals)
Trams: operation maintained (with slightly longer intervals), nostalgic line 23 not in operation
Urban buses: operation maintained (with slightly longer intervals, school lines (250 – 275) and the Airport Express line (AE) not in operation, some lines end operation already at 22:30)
Suburban and regional buses: operation maintained (with slightly longer intervals on some lines), school lines not in operation, some lines end operation already at 22:30
Trains: operation maintained, line S49 not in operation, some long distance and seasonal or nostalgic trains not in operation, weekend night trains from Prague at 2:30 not in operation (more information at www.cd.cz or www.arriva.cz)

Bus line 194 extended from 16th of July (CZ only)
Od září čeká hlavní město velká změna tramvajových linek. Úseky, které jsou dnes přetížené, budou posíleny. Změna se dotkne tras celkem 9 linek, 3 nové přibudou a 12 linek zůstane beze změny. Kromě uvedených změn se mohou těšit občané Prahy 1 již nyní na nové propojení Starého a Nového Města s Malou Stranou díky prodloužení minibusové linky číslo 194.
„O možnosti rozšíření jsem dlouho osobně jednal se společností Ropid a jsem velice rád, že se mi podařilo prodloužení vyjednat. Reagoval jsem na podněty občanů a šlo mi především o to, aby lidé nemuseli při cestě z Malé Strany na Staré či Nové Město složitě dvakrát přestupovat. Věřím, že mnohým z našich občanů tato změna pomůže a zlepší jejich cesty po Praze 1,“ řekl iniciátor této změny místostarosta pro dopravu Richard Bureš.
V rámci jednání byla vyzkoušena celá řada variant a jako kompromisní řešení se nakonec ukázalo prodloužení stávající minibusové linky číslo 194 na Klárov ke stanici metra Malostranská. Poprvé na prodlouženou trasu vyjede minibus v sobotu 16. července.
„Prodloužení linky 194 umožní více cest bez přestupů a doplní nabídku bezbariérového cestování nejen po Praze 1, ale i v celém centru Prahy. Prodloužená minibusová linka bude vhodným doplňkem k vylepšenému linkovému vedení tramvají od letošního září,“ dodává ředitel ROPID Petr Tomčík.
V současné době jezdí v ulicích Prahy 1 dvě minibusové linky, které nahradily v minulém roce autobusovou linku 294. Linka 192 spojuje Malostranské náměstí a Nemocnici pod Petřínem. Linka 194 doposud vozila cestující z Florence na Staroměstskou.
