Metro stop names may change
The City Council approved a plan for the future of public transit
Some metro station names may change in the coming years, in addition to more practical planned changes such as new tram tracks, larger buses
Other name changes in the concept include changing Dejvická to Vítězné náměstí or Dejvice, and Muzeum to Národní muzeum.
Several changes would reflect connections to further transit options. Hradčanská could be Nádraží Dejvice or Bruska, Náměstí Republiky could be Masarykovo nádraží, and Vltavská could be Nádraží
Another practical change would be to rename Českomoravská to Aréna Libeň. The stop is near O2 Arena, though the arena’s name has changed once already. This generic name saves the city from having to update it every time the arena’s name is altered.
Staroměstská has four proposed option: Josefov, Staré Město, Náměstí Jana Palacha, and Rudolfinum.
This would be the largest changing of names since after the Velvet Revolution when stations with communist-inspired names were changes. Moskevská in 1990 became Anděl, Kosmonautů became Háje and Gottwaldova became Vyšehrad, among others
In the long term, the city wants to reduce car traffic by encouraging people to use public transit or other alternatives such as bikes. Electric buses and trolley buses are also being used by the city to reduce pollution.
The city is also encouraging electric vehicles by supporting the building of infrastructure and encouraging car-sharing programs to reduce the overall number of cars in the city.
