Private operator RegioJet has begun rolling out ten Setra S 531 DT double-deckers on its busiest domestic routes, promising business-class comfort at standard fares. The first vehicles entered service on 6 February between Prague, Jihlava and Brno; additional diagrams covering Karlovy Vary, Český Krumlov and Ostrava will follow over the next fortnight.
Each 72-seat coach offers 2 + 2 leather seating with extended leg-room, individual entertainment screens, high-speed Wi-Fi, 230-volt and USB-C power at every seat, and a self-service espresso bar with complimentary fresh-ground coffee and chilled water. Seats recline deeply and include folding work tables, making the bus a viable alternative to rail for commuters who need a mobile office.
For mobility managers the upgrade means more flexibility when rail paths are saturated or maintenance work causes diversions. RegioJet’s dynamic-pricing model typically undercuts rail first-class by 20–30 %, and the company says corporate accounts can bulk-buy credit packages usable across bus and train services.

RegioJet already operates 30 similar coaches on international routes to Vienna, Budapest and Munich. Bringing the product home aligns with the Czech government’s target to shift medium-distance journeys from private cars to collective transport, cutting CO₂ in congested corridors like the D1 motorway.
International passengers planning to sample these new services can streamline Czech or transit visa paperwork through VisaHQ; the platform (https://www.visahq.com/czech-republic/) offers quick online applications, real-time status updates and multilingual support, ensuring travellers are ready to board without bureaucratic delays.
Travellers should note that the new buses board from RegioJet-branded bays at Prague Florence and Brno Grand stations; seat-selection is available in the app up to 15 minutes before departure.
