A typical trip from an address in the neighbourhood: walk to the best stop and on by public transport arriving at Můstek between 7:30 and 8:30, without waiting for the first connection. Calculated from the PID timetables.

At night we calculate the trip from Lazarská (where the night trams meet) leaving between 0:30 and 1:30 on a weeknight, including waiting for the connection (night lines run every 20 to 30 minutes) and the walk home. The metro doesn’t run at night.

How we calculate it, and sources

Of these 2 public facilities (state, region, city), the rest are private practices and companies.

A private practice doesn’t mean paid care: most have contracts with the health insurance companies. The register doesn’t say which practices have a contract with your insurer, check with the practice or the insurer.

We count the places where care is provided (practice, polyclinic, hospital), not individual doctors, per 1,000 residents of the 2021 census. We can’t count paediatricians per child for a neighbourhood, you’ll find them for the district.
