Kobylisy

Kobylisy was opened in 2004 and it is thus one of the newest stations of Prague metro system. With the depth 31.5 metres it is the first (and only) bored station on line C and the first single-aisle bored station in Prague. It is named after a surrounding neigbourhood. Around the station there are some areas where it looks like in a village (as Kobylisy used to be one, before it became part of Prague) but when the northward extension from Nádraží Holešovice was opened, it was a great relief for large northern parts of Prague, which had been served only by trams and buses.

Several public telephones in the east ticket hall.

The platform.
Kobylisy is the first bored station in Prague which is formed by a single space and therefore looks quite monumental and very spacious as compared to other bored stations in Prague.

Above both exits from the platforms there are oblique mirrors. The space looks evengreater thanks to them.

A view of the ceiling and the signage in the station. On the right you can see the so called "dachshund" ("jezevčík" in Czech) - a sign which is common in every station in Prague metro, showing all stations of the line (here it is line C), with the transfer stations and the curent station highlighted. On the left there is a long cylinder with names of several important stations in current direction. These cylinders are only in few stations so far, but they are meant to appear gradually in all stations. And in the foreground there are signs which are also common in all stations and say where can you get through the station exits.

A nice bench on the platform.
