Naming

Previously, Prague transport system used to be called IDS (integrovaný dopravní systém – integrated transport system). Modern name (pražská integrovaná doprava) was first used in 1993 as a part of the name of ROPID organisation, which has also started using this name for the transport system itself.

Transporters participating in PID

Train services

Train services included in PID are currently operated by:

Metro, trams, Petřín funicular

City rail services are de facto monopolised by Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy, which operates all Prague tram and metro services, and Petřín funicular. Until now, there haven't been any realistic proposals of any other transporter to operate any services of this kind.

Bus and coach services

Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy

City bus services in Prague have originally been operated by multiple city-owned enterprises which have later been merged into a single entity, Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy. These days, this company operates most of the city bus services, and also some of the suburban coach services.
