Integration means introducing a single fare and tickets together with unified regulations, route numbering plan, some parts of the information system, transfer facilities improving mixed-mode commuting, and also unified service subsidy system. Prague Integrated Transport is co-ordinated by ROPID.
Naming
Previously, Prague transport system used to be called IDS (integrovaný dopravní systém – integrated transport system). Modern name (pražská integrovaná doprava) was first used in 1993 as a part of the name of ROPID organisation, which has also started using this name for the transport system itself.
Train services
Train services included in PID are currently operated by:
Metro, trams, Petřín funicular
City rail services are de facto monopolised by Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy, which operates all Prague tram and metro services, and the Petřín funicular. Until now, there have not been any realistic proposals of any other transporter to operate any services of this kind.
Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy
City bus services in Prague were originally operated by multiple city-owned enterprises, later merged into a single entity: Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy. These days, this company operates most of the city bus services, and also some of the suburban coach services.
