New train is coming tomorrow!

The 81-71 metro train became an icon of the Prague underground and an integral part of its history. It was first put into operation on May 1, 1978, on Line C and was gradually introduced on other lines as well, replacing the older EČS type.

Over more than three decades, these trains transported millions of passengers and became a symbol of everyday life in the capital. Due to their distinctive appearance, they earned the nickname "black muzzle."

The gradual phase-out began in 2003 and was completed on July 2, 2009, when the 81-71 trains made their final regular service run.

Although their era has ended, one five-car set has been preserved as a historical unit and occasionally appears during special events. The 81-71 train remains in the memory of many Prague residents as an important part of the city’s public transport history.

Our game brings this train back into service — and this time, you're the driver!
