Prague - The construction of metro line D from Náměstí Míru station to Písnice will cost 45 billion crowns excluding VAT, while a shorter variant from Pankráce, including the acquisition of land and P+R parking lots, would cost 33 billion crowns excluding VAT. This was stated today by the general director of the Metroprojekt company, David Krása, at a meeting of the transportation committee. Work is expected to start in 2017 and will last five to six years. Metro D will connect the city center with the southern part of the city.
    "At this moment, land acquisitions are underway, and a tender for the metro construction is planned for next year," Krása said. According to him, the city leadership needs to make decisions about the project's financing, its phases, and the type of transportation system to be used, whether it will be a driver-operated metro or automated trains.
    Deputy Mayor Petr Dolínek (ČSSD) said that Prague will seek government support and also wants to utilize funds from the EU.
    The Prague Public Transport Company will open a new section of metro line A to Motol at the beginning of April, which will cost approximately 20 billion crowns. The construction of metro line D is included in the coalition agreement and the program declaration of the council by the coalition of ANO, ČSSD, and the Trojkoalice. In this year's budget, approximately 600 million crowns have been allocated for the preparation of the construction. The opposition party TOP 09 criticized the amount as too low.
