PID Lítačka mobile app (Prague, Czech Repubilc)
Area: urban
How long from concept to implementation: 2 years
Relation between efforts undertaken and benefits achieved: moderate
What was done and how: The innovative measure was the launch of a fully integrated app. PID Lítačka is a mobile app integrating all the functions that any citizen or visitor may need to use during their city travel. It includes ticket purchases, search functions for travel connections, maps of the lines, and information about the fares. The app can be used for all public transport – metro, trams, buses and trains – in Prague and throughout the whole Central Bohemian Region. It can also be used to send paid-for tickets to others, and to activate multiple tickets simultaneously. Furthermore, you can currently get access to 20 minutes of carsharing free through the app.
Why it worked to 'fast track' the innovation/measure: Since the public transport network was already under one umbrella, it was not difficult to join the modes together into a single app.
