TRANSPORT IN PRAGUE

Public transport

In Prague, an integrated transport system (underground Metro, trams, and buses) operates without conductors. Tickets must be purchased in advance (exceptions are given below) and stamped inside tram or bus, or before passing the gates of the Metro.

Metro stations are usually equipped with ticket machines. In buses, the most common 75-min tickets can be bought at the driver with an additional charge of 5 Kč but for the exact change only. Tickets for 14 Kč for a single 20-min journey by tram or bus, or five-stop journey by Metro as well as transfer tickets for 20 Kč for a 75-min journey (90 min at night and on weekends) by all means of transport are on sale at the airport, at railway stations, newspaper stands and tobacco shops, at hotel reception desks, etc. 24-hour tickets for 80 Kč, 3-day tickets for 220 Kč, and 7-days tickets for 280 Kč are available at travel information centres and ticket offices. The Metro runs from 5:00 till midnight.

The map of Prague is available at http://mapy.atlas.cz

Taxi

Taxis can be hired at the airport or the railway stations. The fare is 28 Kč (maximum) per kilometre and 40 Kč (maximum) is the boarding fee within the city boundaries (2007 prices). We recommend checking the fare before entering a taxi.

Air and railway transport

Prague has direct air links with most capitals in Europe and with many overseas countries. The international airport Praha is situated about 20 km from the city centre (9 km from the Institute). To reach the airport, we recommend bus No. 179 from the Institute, bus No. 119 from the “Dejvická” Metro station (line A) or bus No. 100 from “Zličín” Metro station (line B). Bus fare: 14 Kč from the Institute or Zličín, 20 Kč for longer journeys (see Public transport).

The express bus line AE connects the airport with the “Dejvická” and “Nádraží Holešovice” (railway station) Metro stations in 30-min intervals. Bus fare: 45 Kč (30 Kč from Dejvická).

Buses operated by the CEDAZ Co. run to the airport from the city terminal near the Metro station “Náměstí Republiky” (line B) in 30-min intervals. Bus fare: 120 Kč (90 Kč from Dejvická).

International trains arrive at and depart from the following stations: Praha, hlavní nádraží (Main Station; Metro line C “Hlavní nádraží”), Praha – Holešovice (Metro line C, “Nádraží Holešovice”), and Praha – Smíchov (Metro line B, “Smíchovské nádraží”).

The skill centre which provides research backing to Chemopetrol polyolefin production.

Our long term experience in applied polymer research together with excellent experimental equipment allow solving the problems rapidly and efficiently covering namely:

• Polyolefin syntheses where the bench and semi-pilot reactors enable modelling all currently used industrial processes.
• Chemical and physical modification of polymers. Tailoring of polyolefin grades to fit the required application such as fibres pipes automotive etc.
• Additive and colour package formulation including the testing of stability processing behaviour flame retardancy etc. These services are offered to Chemopetrol, its customers and third parties on a contract basis.
