What are we doing for intermodal passenger? Integrated transport systems Offering flight+train tickets at the stations Connection to the airports in Prague and Ostrava with bus shuttle Possibility of buying the ticket for Prague public transport on all long distance trains Possible rent of cars at the selected station Transport and rent of bikes Cologne, 18 June 2008 6
Integrated transport systems Railway as a backbone in the Integrated Transport System 1. Prague & Central Bohemia Region 2. Eastern Bohemia 3. Northern Moravia 4. South Moravian Region 5. Region of Zlín 6. Tábor Area 7. Region of Pilsen 8. South Bohemia Region 9. Jablonec/Nisou 10. Náchod & Rychnov Area 11. Region of Karlovy Vary 12. Olomouc Region Partners of each ITS: Region Cities České dráhy, a. s. Other operators Cologne, 18 June 2008 7
Main challenges for Integrated transport systems Every ITS has different tariff - complication for long distance passengers Regional trains are ordered by Region and Long distance trains by state difficult position to combine both demands on one infrastructure with one ticket Convince region that railway is backbone of the system Easy access to information about the journey for all passengers and not only the ones living in the region: Before the journey (Electronic timetable for all modes of transport) done in co-operation with Ministry of transport When getting on at the station During the journey (visual and acoustic) Cologne, 18 June 2008 8
Possible solution for different tariffs in ITS ČD: In-karta Current usage: In-zákazník, In-junior, In-senior (discount card) In-gold (Net ticket 1. class) Discount system Sphere Future usage: Electronic ticket for ČD and all ITS - needs co-operation with all region about the technical specification all ITS has to have the same technology for Smart cards as CD Cologne, 18 June 2008 9
Co-operation between ČD and Sky Europe Combination of long distance flights with railway connection within the region Large sales network ČD for ticket packages outside of Prague Better way of getting to the airport compare to individual car transport for the customer and the airport Additional services for incoming passengers with better access to the railway network Cologne, 18 June 2008 10
Transport to and from the airport Frequent bus connection between airport and railway station Railway ticket valid on these buses Good connection for incoming passengers to the railway network In Ostrava the bus shuttle from the railway station is free for the passengers with flight ticket Cologne, 18 June 2008 11
Transport and rent of bikes Transport of the bikes at all trains on the network Bike racks at the stations Rent of bikes at the station with free travel on trains Cologne, 18 June 2008 12
