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 words the future and/or future:
“Life is a series of surprises, and would not be worth taking or keeping, if it were not. God delights to isolate us every day, and hide from us the past and the future.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots. True enough, robots do not rebel. But given man’s nature, robots cannot live and remain sane, they become “Golems,” they will destroy their world and themselves because they cannot stand any longer the boredom of a meaningless life.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Our Last Will and Testament, providing for the only future of which we can be reasonably certain, namely our own death, shows that the Will’s need to will is no less strong than Reason’s need to think; in both instances the mind transcends its own natural limitations, either by asking unanswerable questions or by projecting itself into a future which, for the willing subject, will never be.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
