Living without a car in Ostrava
Ostrava has trams, trolleybuses and buses, but not every neighbourhood is equally well connected. Where you have public transport, shops and doctors on foot, and how you get home at night.
How we calculate
For life without a car, the journey to the centre by public transport and shops within walking distance count most, then the journey home at night, doctors and restaurants. We calculate the journey from the ODIS timetables for every address: walking to the stop, waiting and riding the tram, trolleybus, bus or train to náměstí Republiky on a weekday morning.
