Prague has a very well-developed public transport system. The system consists of a network of underground railways supplemented by a bus network. Trams provide the bulk of passenger transport.
The picture/puzzle shows the northern connection from Malostranské námestí to Letenska Street. The street is narrowed at this point so that the tramway was brought down to only one track. The tram line is also shared by car traffic.
The green corner house is the well-known Pilsner pub U Schnellu; behind it, St Thomas's Church.
The tram from the picture/puzzle is the famous Tatra T3 model in the typical red and yellow design. During its period of production, between 1960 and 1999, 13,991 powered units and 122 unpowered trailers were sold worldwide.
The T3 tram entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most widely produced tram in the world. With over 14,000 cars produced, it is still in 2022 the most widespread tram car in the world. However, this model is now rather rare in Prague, as it is gradually being replaced by more modern types of trams.
