Thirty years ago, the Prague metro expanded with line A

Prague - 30 years ago, on August 12, 1978, the first section of line A of the Prague metro was put into operation, from Náměstí Míru in Vinohrady in the second district to Dejvice in Prague 6. The Prague metro, which has become an important urban transport artery over time, thus gained the basis of its second operational line at that time. The first constructed line, designated by the letter C, was put into operation in its first part four years earlier. The first section of the third and currently last operational line B started in 1985.
    The first part of line A, opened in 1978, is 4.7 kilometers long and has seven stations. The section is characterized by several "mosts". The Náměstí Míru station, located 52 meters underground, is the deepest of all metro stations and is also equipped with the longest escalators, with a diagonal length of 87.2 meters. The section between the "A" stations Hradčanská and Malostranská, located up to 68 meters below the surface, is the deepest route between metro stations. After the last extension to the Depo Hostivař station in 2006, line "A" now has a length of 11.3 kilometers, and the total length of the Prague metro network today is 59.5 kilometers.
