Most and Litvinov tram - CZ08 (2016)In this episode of the Czech "Niskopodłogowiec" series: - How fast does an intercity tram run? - What should be done with this region? - What attractions are "new" in Most? - And where is the "old" Most? There is a bridge (the Polish word for “bridge”) that trams run on. It may seem ordinary, but it is not just an engineering structure or a train station. This is a city, so in this episode of the Czech “Niskopodłogowiec” series, we start right from a bridge. Eleven days of travel... seven tram networks... three trolleybus networks...and one metro network. Czech Transportation Episode 8: Most and Litvinov. Most shares its tram network with the second city, Litvinov, which is also one of the larger networks in the Czech Republic. Trams run on a total of 19 kilometers of track, with Pilsen and Liberec having slightly larger networks. The heart of the system in Most is a route that goes from the southern neighborhoods—Velebudice—northward through the city center, then leaves the city limits heading next to a large petrochemical plant. In Litvinov, we’ll start by reaching the station, then proceed to the Old Town to conclude our journey near the cultural center, Citadela. The rest of the network includes a 1.5-kilometer track in Most leading to the railway station, where a central interchange hub is located. Along this intercity segment, there’s a transit corridor parallel to the Bilina River, a railway, a road, and a tram route. Most of this section is collision-free, making it a fast tram route with dedicated tracks, overpasses, bridges, and underground passages at key stops. The 10.5-kilometer ride takes about 19 minutes, at an average speed of 33 km/h (including stops). That’s roughly 2 km/h slower than the Poznan Fast Tram route in Poland. Regarding the intercity part, let’s pause briefly near the Czech Republic’s largest refinery. In the past, the Unipetrol plant handled even more passengers, although now, during rush hours, twice as many trams run on the tracks compared to other times of day. Trams ferry passengers to Most and Litvinov, where workers can transfer to other means of transportation. Unipetrol Holding is now part of the Polish oil company Orlen. The tram network has four lines; specifically, lines 1 and 3 run only during peak hours with limited departures. The other two operate nearly all day, every 15 minutes on weekdays. Line 2 is the only route that services Most cities. Line 4 provides the only all-day connection between the two cities, taking about 35 minutes for the entire trip. This line is served by double-tram cars only during rush hours. The tram fleet once flourished—oh, so long ago. From approximately 100 trams in the 1980s, the fleet has now been reduced by half. It includes many Tatra T3 trams and a few modern Škoda Astra trams introduced at the start of the 21st century. You might be familiar with tri-segment trams with low-floor middle sections from other Czech cities. Recently, the operator added two Vario LF trams with a low middle section. The transit company also maintains historic and technical trams, though I haven’t seen these in service lately. Most is a larger city among the two, with a population of 67,000. It was established in the 10th century along a trade route from Prague to Freiberg, Germany. It’s no surprise that few old buildings remain. In fact, much of the original city center was destroyed in the 1960s and 1970s to exploit lignite deposits underground. Recently built apartments dominate the landscape. The history of this destruction is evident in related materials. As a result, only a few monuments remain, like Hněvin Castle, a relocated church, and a cemetery. Still, the city tries to attract residents and visitors with several attractions, including a hippodrome, an aquadrome, an autodrome, a football stadium, and a sports arena. Litvinov, on the other hand, is a small town with a central square in its Old Center and about 25,000 residents. At the railway station, I noticed a coordinated tram schedule with bus line 13, which departs only after passenger transfers. Tickets can be purchased using a digital city card, from bus drivers, or at ticket machines that only accept coins. Buying an electronic ticket always costs 4 Czech crowns less than a paper ticket—about 0.15 euros or 64 groszy in Polish zloty. The fare system features both time and zone-based tariffs, divided into three zones: one for each city and a third area between them. Both cities have 24 bus lines: nine in Litvinov and fifteen in Most. None of these directly connects the two cities by bus, as their routes serve different areas. City buses are yellow, white, and red, while regional buses are green.By Niskopodłogowiec - March 12, 2016.
