ČD pro vás

ČD pro vás is the customer magazine of České dráhy (Czech Railways), the state-owned national rail operator of the Czech Republic. First published in 1994, it is one of the longest-running corporate customer publications in the Czech market. The magazine is produced largely in-house by employees of České dráhy and is aimed primarily at the operator's passengers, combining travel inspiration, destination features, service news and competitions. The publication has appeared in several formats. From 1994 to 2005 it was issued four times a year as a standalone magazine. Between 2006 and 2009 it was distributed as an insert of the magazine Grand Expres. Since 2010 it has been published monthly as a standalone title with an expanded page count and a broader range of sections. An official website was launched in early 2013. Distribution is free of charge throughout the Czech Republic. Copies are available at special stands in more than 300 stations, at ČD Centres and on selected higher-quality trains, including all SC Pendolino services. A paid subscription covering postage costs was introduced in 2012. The editorial department of České dráhy also publishes the fortnightly Železničář. The magazine has received industry recognition. In 2012 editor Václav Rubeš won the Zlatá litera award for an original Czech text published in a corporate periodical, for an article in issue 9/2012. In 2013 the magazine received the Firemní časopis pro klienty 2012 award. Today ČD pro vás continues to serve as a promotional and customer-engagement channel for České dráhy, with content also available online.

ČD pro vás was launched in 1994 as a quarterly standalone magazine published by České dráhy, the Czech national railway operator. It was conceived as a promotional and customer-engagement title aimed at passengers, and its editorial production has relied heavily on the railway's own employees. From 1994 to 2005 the magazine appeared four times a year as an independent publication. In 2006 the format changed: for four years, until 2009, ČD pro vás was distributed as an insert within the magazine Grand Expres rather than as a standalone title. This period represented a consolidation of the railway's print activities. In 2010 the magazine returned as a standalone monthly, with a larger page count and an expanded set of sections. This relaunch established the modern identity of ČD pro vás as a regular monthly customer magazine. An official website for the title followed in early 2013, extending its reach online. Distribution has always been free. Copies are placed in special stands at more than 300 stations across the Czech Republic, at ČD Centres and on selected higher-quality trains, including all SC Pendolino services. In 2012 a subscription option was introduced, priced at the cost of postage, allowing readers to receive the magazine by mail. The magazine has earned recognition within the Czech corporate-media sector. In 2012 editor Václav Rubeš received the Zlatá litera award for an original Czech text published in a corporate periodical, for an article in issue 9/2012. In 2013 ČD pro vás won the Firemní časopis pro klienty 2012 award. The editorial department of České dráhy also publishes the fortnightly Železničář, another long-running railway title. Today ČD pro vás remains an active publication, available in print on the railway network and online through its website, where current issues, news items and competitions are featured.
