With 22 such trains providing over 4900 seats and free internet access, traveling between Prague and the cities of the Central Bohemian and Ústí nad Labem regions will become even more convenient and accessible.

The new RegioPanter electric trains, powerful and efficient, underscore the Czech Republic’s commitment to modern and environmentally friendly technologies in public transportation.
