Public Transport

To run Ostrava’s public transport system, the City Public Transport Corporation has been established and is 100% owned by the City. The system consists mainly of the core tram routes, plus bus and trolleybus routes; some regional train routes also form part of the integrated system. 70% of respondents in a survey stated that they use public transport for ordinary journeys.

Almost half of the vehicles owned by the City Public Transport Corporation are buses (284). Over one-third of these buses (105) are low-emission vehicles running on compressed natural gas (CNG). A new large-capacity CNG filling station has also been built for the new buses; the station is one of the largest facilities of its type in Central Europe (3000 Nm3/hour, 24 buses/hour).
