Free shared bikes are now a permanent part of Prague’s public transport

A pilot project offering holders of a Prague public transport pass free access to short-term bike rides has been successful and will become a permanent offering from the city, Prague Integrated Transport has announced this weekend.

Through the program, holders of Prague's Lítačka public transport pass also have access to use shared bicycles from the Rekola and Nextbike companies for time intervals of up to 15-minute time periods, up to four times a day, free of charge.

The program was designed to incorporate bicycles into Prague's public transport system, for those whose bus or tram stop may be a bit too far from their destination. It was launched in October for a three-month trial run.
