The purpose of the construction was to improve the quality and to enlarge the capacity of mass transportation to Barrandov housing estate and neighbouring area and to replace unsuitable bus transportation. The solution of high-capacity transportation will contribute to the development of the Barrandov area which is now limited by the mass transportation situation. The area is extremely suitable for urban development. Certain finance has already been invested to provide engineering lines in the area. The area includes Barrandov, Barrandov housing estate, Lochkov, Slivenec, Holyně and Klukovice. Transportation needs can be satisfied only with a high-capacity rail track with sufficient overkill. The use of a tramways is also beneficial with regard to the environment. Also, the dependence of mass transportation on the capacity of the main access road (K Barrandovu Street) is removed. The road is overloaded with motor-vehicle traffic which is constantly growing. A potential preference of mass transportation buses is also hardly feasible due to the location having insufficient width. The traffic can only be eased after the external road ring is put into operation. More...
