Prague
Czech Republic · ROPID (Regional Organizer of Prague Integrated Transport), brand: PID (Pražská integrovaná doprava)
Prague offers one of Europe's most thoroughly integrated transit systems under the PID umbrella, with a single time-based fare across metro, tram, bus, rail, ferry and even bike-share, plus a genuinely intermodal Lítačka app. Weak spots are the absence of contactless EMV on metro trains, no daily fare capping, and signage that is only now being modernised through the Legible Prague rollout.
How integrated public transport is — quantitative reach and qualitative interchange combined
How easy it is to get around without a car. A separate measure, reported alongside the index.
How evenly distributed transit access is across the city
Three central metro interchanges require separate hall connections, though newer stations offer excellent direct underground integration, while inconsistent wayfinding during Legible Prague's ongoing rollout and incomplete step-free accessibility complicate navigation.

Prague's unified PID/Lítačka system eliminates transfer penalties and integrates all transit modes across 13 regional zones, though contactless payment remains incomplete on metro and most bus lines.

PID Lítačka offers genuinely intermodal route planning including shared bikes, taxis and real-time vehicle tracking; Google Maps and IDOS also cover the network well, with some known ticketing bugs.
PID coordinates timed pulses at Lazarská and maintains unified ticketing across metro, trams, and night services 24/7, while bike-sharing integration via Lítačka planner extends last-mile connectivity for pass holders.
