PID also unifies regulations, route numbering plan, some parts of the information system, transfer facilities improving mixed-mode commuting, and also unified service subsidy system.[2]
Naming and branding[edit]
Previously, the Prague mass transit system was simply called IDS (integrovaný dopravní systém). The modern name PID (pražská integrovaná doprava) was first used in 1993 as a part of the name of the ROPID organisation, which has also started using this name for the transport system itself.
In 2021 Prague Integrated Transport adopted its new design scheme, including a new logo and a new paint scheme for vehicles operating under its network. The new paint scheme includes distinctive vertical red stripes and it will be gradually introduced on all vehicles. [3]
