Czechia have 121,2 kilometres of lines operated per 1000 sq. kms (2019) which means is it country with the most railway density… just look at this map :O

   Minimálně tahle trať už přes 20 let nefunguje

3. That is nice, but some of those railways are outdated and useless for practical everyday use.

4. Yes, the Czech rail density is insanely good compared to where I’m from…One of the reasons I loved living there

5. Yeah we have the most railway density of… Disabled lines. There are so many local trains that no longer operate, apparently bus lines that dont even connect the two cities together are better…

6. Its fooking lovely, innit

8. It’s only because of this – Czech regional authorities almost didn’t remove operations on local railways, because they are operated by diesel trains with small capacity, which are easy to repair and cheap to operate and there was no need to replace them with buses.

9. Long live Austria for having built all the lines..

   You should also put a highway density map there… Just for comparison… We are unable to build roads whereas Austria without computers and modern tools built railroad track all over… It’s embarrassing

10. The train connection into Poland from Harahov to Szklarska Poręba is missing…

11. This railway network was an advantage 100 years ago, today there is lack of money to maintain this network and it’s quickly becoming outdated. Those lines weren’t built for higher speeds back then, between most Czech cities you travel at similar speeds as decades ago. A typical example is e.g. Havl.Brod-Kolín or Olomouc-Krnov (avg speed 49 km/h) etc. – really slow railway lines.

    The Czech railway network is at least 40-50 years behind Western Europe, where high-speed train networks have been built since 1970s

13. Škoda, že se vlakem dneska skoro nikam nedostaneš.

14. shiiit další věc v čem jsme nejlepší

    jsme druhý xd

16. škoda že neni přímej spoj s Klatov do Nepomuka

17. Had the opportunity to enjoy standing still (in a train) on them for two hours today, very fun

18. Chybí spoj Polná – Dobronín

19. There might be a lot of railways, but most of them aren’t being used or have decayed so much that they won’t work anymore. The trains in Czechia are expensive (without a discount), slow and generally unreliable. If you want to travel between 2 different regions, you’ll have to take at least 2 trains, and it’s perfectly normal for a train to come 20 minutes late.

    And then you’re stuck at the Pilsen train station of all places, waiting an hour or more for another train because the delay messed up your whole route. Shit sucks.

    And if you want to be eco-friendly, maybe save a bit of money and use a bicycle combined with train transport, you’ll have to pay an extra ticket for the bike, which just seems counterproductive.

20. We like trains…

21. Nice

22. Density is one thing, but travel time is more important. Getting from Prague to Brno takes 3 hours! Ridiculous

23. … a přesto člověk jede z Prahy do Brna 8 hodin
