Brno Tram Termini

One row per line and direction in the selected hour: where it starts, when it leaves, how long it runs. Runtime is the average scheduled time from first to last stop for that direction, which is the number to match against the Simutrans schedule.

Timetable. Trip start and end times from the IDS JMK GTFS feed (kordis-jmk.cz/gtfs/gtfs.zip, exported 11 Sep 2026, valid to 20 Oct 2026), tram routes only. Wednesday 16 Sep 2026 was chosen because the weekday timetable is identical from 14 Sep to at least 30 Sep and the only weekday-specific exception (line 9 on 15 Sep) is avoided. Platform numbers appear only where the feed carries them (Stará osada, Královo Pole, Modřice, Mendlovo náměstí).
Headways. Brno runs 5-minute peak headways on the trunk lines 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 (line 8 alternates 4 and 6 minutes), 6 minutes on 12, 7 on 2, 10 on 5 and 7, and 20 on the reduced line 10. Line 5's short workings to Mendlovo náměstí and line 2's to Ústřední hřbitov are regular parts of the timetable, not diversions.
Diversions in force. Short-term: Kníničská reconstruction phase 3 (1–30 Sep 2026) puts a single-track section between Vozovna Komín, Sochorova and Svratecká, line 10 ends at Sochorova and lines 1 and 3 may run up to 5 minutes late; the Hybešova stop relocation (to 16 Sep) and the weekend track works of 12–13 Sep do not touch the weekday termini. Long-term: line 10 ends at Vozovna Komín instead of Bystrc, Rakovecká since 18 Oct 2025 because of the Ečerova rebuild and the Kamechy extension (opening end of 2027); the second dataset shows that state. Line 11 was abolished on 1 May 2023 and is not a diversion.
Tracks were read from the DPMB track plan published by bmhd.cz (state May 2015) and cross-checked loop by loop against the current OpenStreetMap track geometry (Sep 2026), with published sources for Ústřední hřbitov (rebuilt 2020), Nemocnice Bohunice (2022), Královo Pole, Technologický park, Náměstí Míru, Stará osada (2025) and Ečerova (2026). Where the two disagree (Stránská skála, Osová, Mendlovo náměstí) the newer OpenStreetMap reading is used and the confidence lowered. The rebuilt Ečerova loop and the new Pisárky depot loop (ARENA BRNO) have no published track count.
Not verified. How line 10 reverses at Sochorova during the closure; whether the Ečerova rebuild changed the number of tracks; the exact layout of Novolíšeňská and the Pisárky depot loop.
Vehicle types. From the bmhd.cz deployment records (vypravenost) for 8–10 Sep 2026, which list every duty (kurz) of each line with its vehicle numbers; the numbers were classified by type with the bmhd.cz fleet register (13T 1901–1949, 45T 1760–1799, KT8D5R.N2/N 1701–1738, K3R-N 1751–1754, EVO2 1822–1862, Anitra 1807–1817, VarioLF2R.E 1069–1132, VarioLFR.E 1497–1630 by list, T6A5 1201–1247, T3 family 1517–1666). Counts are duties active in the afternoon peak on the latest day, with the range over the sampled days; a kurz that swaps vehicles at midday is counted with its afternoon vehicle.
Depots. Odd kurz numbers are Pisárky, even are Medlánky, which is why lines 1, 4 and 12 (Pisárky) run Vario and EVO2 sets and lines 8, 9 and 10 (Medlánky) run 45T, 13T and KT8. The timetable's low-floor flags agree: lines 2, 3, 5 and 6 carry 15–40 % high-floor trips (T6A5 and T3 pairs), lines 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 are almost entirely flagged low-floor (Vario and KT8 count as partly low-floor).
Variants. The only variant with a distinct fleet is line 5: the short workings Štefánikova čtvrť – Mendlovo náměstí (kurzy 21–27) run with 20 m solo cars, the full line with 30 m trams and pairs. Line 7's Zemědělská short workings and line 2's Ústřední hřbitov trips cannot be separated by kurz number.
Timetable. Departures are the scheduled start times of every trip at its first stop, arrivals the scheduled end times at the last stop, for one weekday. Where a loop's alighting and boarding stops carry different names they are merged into one terminus.
Headway and offsets are derived for the selected hour only; the afternoon peak pattern usually holds from about 14:30 to 18:30, so 16:00 is a fair reference for all lines at once. The morning peak (7 o'clock) is offered for comparison. “Same pattern” on each row shows the hours over which headway and phase do not change.
Variants. Where a line leaves one terminus for two different ends (Ostrava line 4 to Hranečník or NH jižní brána, Prague 22 to Zahradní Město or Nádraží Hostivař), the row shows the combined pattern first and then one sub-row per destination with its own headway, phase and minutes; the line index lists the variants as separate rows. Trips that pass through a terminus on the way to a farther end are not counted at that terminus at all, so a through track is never occupied in these figures.
Low-floor marks. A departure minute underlined in red is a trip the timetable itself marks as low-floor (GTFS wheelchair_accessible, the “@” code in CIS JŘ data); a grey underline is an explicit high-floor trip; no underline means the data does not say. “Low-floor N% of trips” on a row is that line's share over the whole day at this terminus. Fleet at peak chips name the unit as it runs: “2× T3” is one coupled two-car set (one tram in the counts), “T3M.3 solo” a single car; the vehicle-type table gives cars per unit and length. They give the observed vehicle types in service around 16:00 from deployment records, as described in the city notes; they are observations from a few days, not a timetable rule, so the mix on any given day can differ.
Phase. With an 8-minute headway the minutes past the hour shift by 4 every hour (:02 :10 :18 … at 16:00 becomes :06 :14 :22 … at 17:00), because 60 is not a multiple of 8. The phase is the departure minute counted from midnight modulo the headway, so it stays the same all afternoon and is the number to compare between lines: two 8-minute lines with phases 2 and 6 leave 4 minutes apart, phases 2 and 2 leave together. “Same pattern” gives the hours over which headway and phase do not change.
Depot runs (trips starting or ending at a vozovna) are left out of the headway and the pattern but are counted in the number of trams standing at the terminus. Tick the box to list them.
Trams standing is the largest number of trams that are between arrival and their next departure at the same time during that hour, assuming first in, first out. A tram whose next departure of its line is more than 60 minutes away is assumed to have gone to the depot and is not counted. Compare it with the track count: a loop with fewer tracks than standing trams is one where trams in reality queue behind each other on one track, or where the timetable slack sits on the platform.
Track plan. A small simulation of 14:00–19:00: every tram arriving at the terminus is put on one of the loop tracks its line is allowed to use, tracks are first-in-first-out, and a tram is counted as blocked when a tram in front of it is scheduled to leave later. All assignments of lines to tracks are tried and the best is kept, ranked by blocked trams (usually zero is possible), then by the number of lines sharing a track, then by the longest queue on any track, then by simplicity. “Up to N trams at once” is the platform length the track needs in the model. Where a line alternates between two tracks, the simulation sends each tram to the track where nothing blocks it, which is what a choose signal or a multi-platform stop does in Simutrans. Tracks that have no platform in reality are left out and noted. “Real boarding stops today” lists the platform letters from the feed where the operator publishes them, i.e. the real assignment.
Tracks come from published descriptions of each loop (Wikipedia, operator and enthusiast sites); the source and confidence are noted on each card. Numbers marked “?” were not verifiable.
