Public Transport Museum in Prague, Public transport museum in Střešovice, Czech Republic.
The Public Transport Museum in Střešovice holds a collection of about fifty historical vehicles, mostly trams, along with buses, trolleybuses and service vehicles. Exhibits occupy ten tracks in the western halls of the depot, while the eastern halls serve as a depository and workshop, including a metro car of type Ečs.
The Střešovice depot ended regular tram service on 1 September 1992, when a directive turned it into a centre for contract rides and a home for the collections moved from Vokovice. The museum opened there on 14 May 1993, and the depot itself had been declared a technical monument at the end of 1991.
The museum displays how Prague residents traveled by tram, bus, and trolleybus across different eras. Old tickets, route maps, and photographs on view tell the story of how transportation shaped daily life in the city.
The exhibition halls open only on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer season, roughly April to November, with other times by arrangement. The depot courtyard and the refreshments in the former dispatch office by the gate are freely accessible. The stop for heritage tram line 41 is marked in the track curve by the upper depot gates.
Visitors can ride in actual historical trams on weekends, with a heritage line 41 service connecting the museum grounds to central Prague. These rides offer a genuine experience of how people traveled decades ago.
