Depo Písnice, Metro depot in Písnice, Czech Republic
Depo Písnice is a maintenance facility in southeast Prague designed to service and store trains for metro line D. The installation features large workshop areas, extensive track systems, and parking spaces for vehicles.
The facility was built as part of the fourth Prague metro line expansion, opening a new phase of modern public transit. It was constructed to meet growing demands for fleet maintenance and management.
The depot location near the former meat processing plant reflects the transformation of industrial areas into modern transport infrastructure.
The complex is accessible by public transport with connections to bus and train lines nearby. The site itself is not open to the public, but the surrounding area can be explored on foot.
The depot will be among the first facilities in Europe to operate fully automated driverless trains. This technology marks an important step forward in how modern transit systems function.
