Default Prague Metro Plans Extension To Airport + New Line

Airport in a 40 billion Kc ($2 billion) project that could be paid
for, in part, by European Union funds.


What a colossal waste of money. Just about nobody uses the existing
bus services to get to anywhere in between the present terminus of
Line A and the airport. And there are, what, ten buses an hour? How
the hell does that justify several kilometres of hole in the ground?


Growth? A lot of ****-ups in public transport are based on the
miscalculation of people wanting to use a route in increasing numbers.
As a Brit, I'm surprised that didn't occur to you.
