The Prague public transport company will reopen the Petřín funicular on Tuesday 22 September after two years, initially in trial operation. Two new panoramic cars from the Swiss maker Doppelmayr will run daily from 7:00 to 22:15 every ten minutes and will no longer stop at Nebozízek on the way down. A single fare rises from 60 to 100 crowns, or 90 in the PID Lítačka app; season passes, 24 and 72 hour tickets, the Prague Visitor Pass and free travel for children under 15 and people over 65 remain valid. Step-free access to the stations is not yet in place and is planned for 2029 and 2030.

Bus line 145, the so-called tunnel bus, will also stop at Kuchyňka from 29 September 2026. The stop improves service to the university campus at Pelc-Tyrolka and gives it a direct link to Dejvice. Prague 8 had long pushed for the change.

Prague detectives detained two foreigners who offered tourists near Wenceslas Square and Prague Castle a good rate for euros and dollars and handed over invalid Belarusian banknotes instead of crowns; the damage exceeded 30,000 crowns. Both received suspended sentences and were expelled for several years. On Alšovo nábřeží an off-duty detective caught two foreign women stealing from the backpack of a 78-year-old woman, and one of them was streaming the theft live on social media. Both were given two-year suspended sentences and expelled for three years.

Prague 7 is installing tap aerators, shower flow regulators and lower-flush toilet fittings free of charge for tenants of its municipal flats. Forty-two households signed up for the offer in spring, and the district has fitted another 147 flats in sheltered housing and a homeless shelter. Five of the 18 buildings it fully manages are done, the rest follow this year and next; tenants with high water bills can ask to be treated first.

Responding to a petition to keep the Retro Masna Kosina butcher's shop in Kaprova Street, Prague 1 says it has neither served notice on the tenant nor started eviction proceedings. The lease runs until the end of 2028 and, if its conditions are met, continues indefinitely from 2029; in return the tenant committed to modernise the shop and keep minimum opening hours. According to the district the work so far falls short of that, and cooling units moved into the courtyard without consent were measured in 2024 at 63 dB against a night limit of 40 dB. The district refuses to pay for the renovation from public money, as the petition demands.

The monthly rent for a resident space in the new P+R Opatov car park drops from 2,200 to 1,760 crowns, a fifth less, which works out at just under 59 crowns a day. In the underground garage of the nearby Opatovská shopping centre the list price for a long-term space is 3,000 crowns. The building has 495 spaces and at least a hundred are set aside for residents. The first round of applications covers Šalounova, U Chodovského hřbitova, Křejpského, Lečkova, Jašíkova and Nad Opatovem streets; if the quota is not filled, it will widen to other Prague 11 residents. A tenant does not get a named space but may use whichever are free. The district negotiated the discount with City Hall from the moment applications opened; the contracts will be signed by the roads authority TSK.

A car park with 290 spaces has opened on the Dědina housing estate in Prague 6; the city built it and the roads authority TSK has taken over its operation. Eight spaces are widened to 3.5 metres for wheelchairs and prams, another eight have electric-car charging. The building stands next to the recently opened tram line, has three floors above ground and a sunken basement, and came out of an architectural competition won by the Ivan Kroupa architekti studio. The northern wall facing the neighbouring block is partly closed for noise reasons; the façade and the roof pergola are to be covered with climbing greenery.

Bus route 137 makes its last run on Monday 21 September and trolleybus route 52 takes over in full service, having until now run with a single vehicle. One thing changes for passengers: every second service will run the longer way from Na Knížecí to Jinonice, at weekends too — the bus went there on weekdays only and most services terminated at Waltrovka. Full service became possible as the transport company took delivery of new Bozankaya SNG 12T trolleybuses. On Malvazinky and Peroutkova the noise of bus engines on the hill disappears; going downhill a trolleybus does not waste the energy but stores it in batteries or returns it to the wires.

Prague has completed a new wing of the primary school for pupils with specific behavioural disorders at Zlíchov; capacity in the lower grades rises from 50 to 120. The wing is fully step-free — the existing lower-grade building was not — and adds workshops and a gym the school had never had. Next comes the refurbishment of the lower-grade building with specialist classrooms and counselling rooms, a link corridor between the buildings and a new outdoor playground. The school works with children with ADHD, autism and emotional difficulties; places of this kind are scarce in Prague.

That comes from this year's city survey of nearly eleven thousand pupils and students. Prague has been tracking children's mental health and risk behaviour for ten years, so it has something to compare against.
