Public transport in Prague and its surroundings unify the color. In the metropolis, the change met with resistance, and the chief architect Kotas also opposes it Transport

Prague Buses, trams, urban trains and metro trains involved in the Prague Integrated Transport (PID) should have a uniform edoerven design in the future, both on the ground of Prague and the Central Bohemian Region. The design of the graphic studio superlative.works, which succeeded in the competition, was approved by the councilors on Monday.

For the time being, the design should be tested on some vehicles of the transport company, after the approval of the complete design manual, the cars should not be painted over the surface, but only newly purchased vehicles or during repairs and replacement stickers.

The city management fully justifies the fact that the PID system is gradually expanding to the Central Region and together with this is a good time to unify the form of cars throughout the system, so that it is clear at a glance, in a given means of transport paying a PID ticket.

According to the reasons, the new system first concerns the bus, selected types of trams, views and the train (after approval also by the Central Region) and other means of transport within the PID system.

Sets Pra

On the other hand, the T3 tram and their modernized type do not meet. In response to Monday’s decision, the superlative.works studio will prepare a complete graphic manual, which will then re-approve the city and insights and regions.

According to the mayor Adam Scheinherr (Prague Sob), the full cost does not mean any more. For existing vehicles, the paint will be replaced during major renovations and especially when supplementing the vehicle fleet – the purchase of new vehicles, where stickers and paint shops would still occur. The project will not bring extra costs. On the contrary, thanks to the economical variants of a smaller sweat of paints, which are resistant to high operational degradation, we know that it will bring disputes. The costs for the competition and the creation of a graphic manual were 1,940,000 crowns, the realization will not cost anything extra, he said.

The selection procedure was non-transparent

According to the approved document, Ropid, who takes care of Prague’s public transport, announced a design competition last autumn in cooperation with the Czechdesign agency for the new look of the car and logos and gave visual elements. The jury selected the proposed proposal from five participants. According to the document, the costs of the competition were up to two million crowns and it was not public, Ropid contacted the applicants and then selected five participants from those who were interested.

The procedure of the city leadership during the election was criticized by the example of the ODS opposition, according to the chairwoman of the club of civic democrats Alexandra Udenija, it was non-transparent. According to the city’s management, in similar cases it is a common practice, which was confirmed by the antitrust council, which did not find any reason to investigate the contract.

Fully criticize the koalin Spojly sly for Prague (TOP 09 and STAN). In times of coronavirus crisis, funds should be used more meaningfully for the benefit of the people of Prague. The time is not conducive to this and these proposals seem inappropriate, especially at a time when our koal partners are leading the debate on the health of public transport and parking in the capital, said the chairman of the Joint Forces Club Ji Pospil.

Patrik Nacher, if the project of the opposing club, announced YES for the rest. On the one hand, public transport is becoming more expensive and at the same time the visual appearance of the cars will now be seen. The symbolism is that even on this decision there was no consensus in the coalition and it was not classically supported by one of the coalition entities, he said.

The architect Patrik Kotas, who created the design of a series of trams and metro trains and who led the city in the first dispute due to the protection of intellectual property, spoke out against the full public.

On Monday, the approved material contains the first opinion of the transport company, according to which Kotasv nok could pose a problem and the company recommends to consult an expert on this issue.

The Prask Integrated Transport System includes, in addition to the crackdown on public transport, train and bus transport in the large Central Bohemian Region, which is gradually expanding. Last year, for example, it spread to Nymburk, Pbram, Podbrad and Koln, and the system works in the Beroun, Kladno and Mlnická regions. This year, for example, Dobrovicko, Voticko, Kokonsko, Msteckokrlovsko or other districts of Rakovnicka and Kolnska can be connected.
