DECLARATION
Federal Ministry of Transport
of 18 October 1979
on urban public transport
The Federal Ministry of Transport provides in agreement with the participating central authorities pursuant to § 29 of Act No. 51 / 1964 Coll., on Railways, and § 57 (1) of Act No. 68 / 1979 Coll., on road transport and national mail:
Basic provisions
(1) Urban public transport under this Decree means public public transport of persons and their baggage operated to satisfy transport needs within the territory of the city or, where appropriate, suburban catchment areas by urban railways and buses.
(2) Urban public transport is operated as regular or irregular transport. Regular urban public transport is a service repeated between the same places and at specified times; It shall be carried out on urban rail lines and on urban bus lines which are included in the timetables in force, where appropriate otherwise published. Irregular public transport is based on orders (booked travel).
(3) In cases not covered by this decree, the operation of public transport is governed by general rules
(a) on railways, (1) on urban public transport operated by urban railways,
(b) road transport, (2) urban public transport by bus.
Service uniform
Urban public transport operators (hereinafter referred to as "transport operators') are required to equip workers whose circle will be determined by the central public administration in the transport matters of the Czech Socialist Republic (3) or by the central public administration in the transport matters of the Slovak Socialist Republic (4) for the performance of their work in a uniform manner.
Driver
The driver of a vehicle in urban public transport may only be a person who:
(a) be in work or Member relation to the transport operator;
(b) has the relevant driving authorisation and is physically and mentally capable of driving urban railway vehicles or, where appropriate, road vehicles of the group concerned as an occupational driver;
(c) has not been convicted of a criminal offence which implies that it is not likely to be a driver in public transport unless it is viewed as not being convicted. 5)
Timetables
(1) The transport operator shall establish and publish timetables for each regular service line operated by it.
(2) Timetables shall contain all the information necessary to inform passengers about the operation on individual routes; must contain in particular:
(a) the name and address of the transport operator;
(b) the name of the stop (s) in which the timetable is posted;
(c) the marking, direction (target stops or stations, as appropriate) of all lines passing through the stop (s);
(d) the date from which the timetable applies and the expiry date;
(e) the names of all stop (s) of the line (s);
(f) the time of departure of the vehicle (s) from the stop; If the departure interval is still the same and less than 15 minutes in the complete time periods, only the first departure time in each hour and after the terminal defining the relevant period may be indicated by the recurring interval;
(g) an indication of the introduction of a special mode of operation on the line, such as the one in which the passenger is obliged to perform certain operations related to the payment of the fare (transport) or, where appropriate, the ticket measure (operation without a conductor).
(1) Continuous change in timetable must be indicated by the transport operator in the scheduled timetable in a timely and legible manner. The expected temporary deviations from the timetable caused by it shall be notified in advance by the transport operator at the stops by special signs; the unforeseen temporary deviations indicate whether they may be expected to last more than 12 hours.
(2) The transport operator is obliged to ensure that all the data contained in the timetables and notices are correct. Waived timetables and signs which have ceased to be valid are damaged or unreadable, the transport operator must remove and, where appropriate, replace them immediately in the event of their invalidity.
(3) The transport operator may also issue a book timetable, providing a summary overview of the overall layout of the lines and of the operations on individual lines and allowing easy orientation. Where local transport conditions so require, the competent authority of the State administration may impose the issue of the timetable on the transport operator.
Authorisation procedure
(1) The application for a permit to operate public transport must be made in writing and must contain:
(a) the name and address of the applicant;
(b) an indication of whether the applicant has or has been authorised to operate a particular type of road or urban public transport on the basis of an earlier authorisation or directly by law;
(c) the description and length of the lines (lines) on which the transport is to be operated, with a clear situation plan in which the lines (lines) are drawn with all stops (stations) and lines (lines) of public transport operated by other operators operating the territorial district in which the transport is to be operated, including their stops (stations) in that district;

(a) the name and address of the creditor;
(b) the description and length of the lines on which traffic is to be operated;
