New P+R lots opening around Prague

With the growing number of people living on the outskirts of Prague, pressure on the city's transportation system is being stretched to its limits. Prague's current leadership promised to re-start the construction of new Park & Ride facilities to encourage commuters to leave their cars on the edge of town and continue in using public transportation. Two new P+Rs opened at the end of 2019 in Branik, where 115 spaces have been created, and in Běchovice, where 64 spots are now available. The new parking spaces are just a fraction of what's needed, but the city insists more are on the way. "This is exactly the way to improve traffic in Prague step-by-ste so we'll continue with the construction of P+R lots in 2020," said deputy mayor Adam Scheinherr.
