Ostrava 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 come from the national CIS JŘ timetable portal (portal.cisjr.cz/pub/draha/mestske/JDF.zip, export of 11 Sep 2026), lines 915001–915017 of Dopravní podnik Ostrava. Fixed code @ in that data marks low-floor trips, not a day restriction, so all X (workday) trips are counted.
Chosen day. Tuesday 3 Nov 2026. The feed carries three timetable generations: 1–16 Sep (Vítkovická street works: 1, 2, 13 diverted via Mírové and Mariánské náměstí, 10 suspended, replacement buses ND1/ND2), 17 Sep – 19 Oct (the same lines still skipping the Don Bosco stop) and 17 Sep – 12 Dec (regular). 3 Nov falls in the regular generation only. 28 Oct is a holiday and 29–30 Oct are school holidays, so the first clean Tuesday is 3 Nov.
Long-term diversion kept in. The railway underpass on Hlučínská street is rebuilt from 15 Apr 2026 to 31 Oct 2027, so the Přívoz, Hlučínská loop is unreachable: line 8 ends alternately at Hlavní nádraží and Mor. Ostrava, Plynárny, and the shift line 14 at Hlavní nádraží. Hlučínská therefore has no card.
Peak headways. The Ostrava standard is 10 min on the main lines (1, 2, 12, 15; 4, 7 and 17 as two overlapping 20-min patterns), 5 min on the Poruba trunk of line 8, 20 min on the peak-only lines 3, 11 and on 13, 30 min on the single-track suburban line 5. Peak-only lines 3, 10 and 11 stop around 18:00–19:00.
Tracks. Dubina (3), Hranečník (3), Výškovice (2 plus the three-track approach, rebuilt 2026) and Hlavní nádraží (2 plus an inner stabling track) are documented; Zábřeh, NH jižní brána and Zátiší are listed as single-track by the city transport plan; the counts for Vřesinská, Poruba vozovna, Plynárny and Martinov are assumptions marked with low confidence on the cards, since no source stating them was found.
Not in the data. The JDF export has no platform codes, so the real boarding-stop letters shown for Prague have no equivalent here.
Standing trams. DPO's public timetable contains no depot runs, so a tram that ends its day or changes line number at Hlavní nádraží, Vřesinská or Zábřeh would look like it keeps standing there. Arrivals with no departure of the same line within 60 minutes are therefore treated as depot runs; what remains at those three termini is still an upper bound, while departure minutes and headways are exact.
Vehicle types. Counts are the vehicle-day records of every DPO tram on seznam-autobusu.cz (fed automatically from tram-bus.cz) for weekdays between 1 Sep 2025 and 30 Jun 2026, grouped by the line each record names, with morning-only turns left out. The shares are scaled to the number of trams the 3 Nov 2026 timetable has in service on the line at 16:00, so the counts are an expectation, not a roster of one particular day. Records that name a second line ("přejezd na linku") are counted only under their first line.
Where a line has two ends (4 to Hranečník or NH jižní brána, 7 and 17 from Vřesinská or Poruba vozovna, 8 to Hlavní nádraží or Plynárny) the same turns alternate between the variants, so the mix applies to both; the records do not distinguish them.
DPO length categories. DPO plans turns by length: 1×T (single Vario LF, 15 m), 1.5×T (Tango NF2, 39T, Trio, Astra, Vario LF2, 20–26 m) and 2×T (coupled Vario LF pairs, KT8D5R.N1, Vario LF3, 30 m). The type within a category varies from day to day; the category is the stable part of the plan. Lines 1 and 2 are the 2×T lines: DPO says their loading does not allow the 1.5×T Tango and 39T to be used regularly (zdopravy.cz, 2026).
Low-floor flag. The timetable marks trips guaranteed for a low-floor vehicle with the JDF code @; the share per line is shown next to the mix. Every DPO tram now has at least a low-floor middle section (the last high-floor T3R.P are out of the seznam-autobusu register), so trips without @ are simply not guaranteed, which is why the peak-only lines 3 and 10 have the lowest shares (about two thirds).
Coverage. The automatic deployment feed on seznam-autobusu.cz is dense from Sep 2025 to Mar 2026 and thins out to a few hundred records a month in Apr–Jun 2026; after 26 Jun 2026 it stops, so no Sep 2026 observations exist. The mix therefore reflects the 2025/26 school-year timetable, which the 17 Sep 2026 timetable follows apart from line 14 being cut to shift trips and line 6 disappearing.
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.
