The test run runs without problems. In mid-December, with a change in timetables, the system will start operating on all lines for all carriers in the Czech Republic, Havlíček said. According to him, contracts with all carriers are mostly already signed.

“It must be said that as the individual lines are commercialized, we now have 13 carriers, it can be assumed that there will be even more of them as part of the liberalization. And it is basically impossible for people to buy a specific ticket for each of them in the future, “said the minister.

Havlíček tried out the OneTicket project on his way from Pilsen to Plas. For one ticket, he went from Pilsen to Kaznějov by GW Train Regio and from Kaznějov to Plas he continued by Czech Railways.

The Pilsen – Most and Česká Lípa – Rumburk lines, which run five carriers with a total of 146 train connections, joined the pilot operation.

“In the pilot operation, we were tested by five carriers, specifically between Pilsen and Most, there are four and it is chosen because there are several options for transfers between individual carriers. On the second line, Česká Lípa – Rumburk, there are two carriers who have concurrence there and their trains run there alternately, ”said Jan Paroubek, in charge of managing the state-owned company Cendis, which is in charge of the project.
