The Future
There are further plans to build a completely new line, the D line (or blue line). Line D would connect the city centre to the southern parts of the city and according to the newest plans, the line would run along the same tracks as Line C from Nádraží Holešovice to Pankrác station, before branching down a new line to the suburban neighbourhoods of Krč, Libuš and Písnice in the south. The construction may start in 2015.
The first phase of a CZK18.7 billion extension on the west end of the A line is currently under construction, from Dejvická station to Motol, which is forecast to open to the public in 2014. The second phase of this extension will see the line reach Václav Havel Airport and is set to open by 2021. Before this, a railway connection to the airport will be opened.
An E line has also been proposed, but not much is known about it yet and no official plans were released.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“We stand at once the wonder and admiration of the whole world, and we must enquire what it is that has given us so much prosperity, and we shall understand that to give up that one thing, would be to give up all future prosperity. This cause is that every man can make himself.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“We accept and welcome ... as conditions to which we must accommodate ourselves, great inequality of environment; the concentration of business, industrial and commercial, in the hands of a few; and the law of competition between these, as being not only beneficial, but essential for the future progress of the race.”
—Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919)
