Pražské služby

Crossings by schools are repainted at the turn of August and September, in live traffic

Road-marking crews repaint crossings and signs by schools and nurseries while also putting up temporary signage for closures, often a few metres from moving cars. The work runs from design through printing and vinyl to installation on site, and is done under contract and instructions from the city roads authority.

Editor's note. The text was issued by the firm whose own staff appear in it, and comes with its own video about the trade. How many people and how many crossings this involves is not stated.

Hlídač státu

The highest income of a city councillor last year was 5.3 million

Hlídač státu has published the incomes and multiple offices of councillors in the Czech statutory cities for 2025. Top of the list is MP and Hradec Králové councillor Jiří Mašek with 5.3 million gross including allowances; the first ten places all went to ANO politicians. The most offices at once were held by regional governor and České Budějovice councillor Martin Kuba and Jihlava councillor Jiří Kotlík — eight each.

Editor's note. The data come from a watchdog association that makes its name tracking public money and publishes before elections on purpose. The figures are from mandatory declarations, so they can be checked; what follows from them the reader has to decide.

Most tips fall between six and ten percent; seventeen percent resent the terminal's nudge

According to the survey, the commonest tip sits between 6 and 10 percent of the bill. Seventeen percent of diners object to the preset amount on the card terminal — they feel pushed into tipping.

Source: Rondo.cz

Editor's note. The survey was published by a firm that builds loyalty schemes for merchants, one side of the terminal argument. How many people were asked, nowhere.

VMS Vision

School-technology suppliers weigh in on the phone ban

A statutory limit on phones in lessons does not mean classrooms without technology, the text argues: a personal device distracts, while equipment bought for the classroom is meant to help the teacher explain and involve the class.

Source: VMS Vision

Editor's note. The distinction between a „personal device“ and „classroom technology“ is drawn by a firm that sells schools the latter. There is no data in the text; it is an opinion.

1,356 used Chinese cars sold, 57 percent more than last year

Between January and July 1,356 used cars of Chinese makes changed hands in the country, 57 % more year on year. Three in four carried the MG badge (1,015 units), BYD 73 and Jaecoo 67. For scale: 125,068 used Škodas sold in the same period, 26 % of the whole second-hand market.

Source: AURES Holdings

Editor's note. The used-car figures were published by someone trading in that market. Whether they cover the whole market or only cars from its own lots is not distinguished.

Index prosperity

Czechia moves from fourteenth to seventh in the EU on digitalisation and infrastructure

In the digitalisation and infrastructure pillar the country rose from fourteenth to seventh among the EU's twenty-seven, between Estonia and Hungary. Public transport and progress in e-government drove the gain. Broadband coverage remains the worst in the whole union.

Source: Index prosperity

Editor's note. The ranking does not hide that Czechia comes last in the union on fast internet coverage — worth noting for figures from an interested party. Who funds the index and how it weights its indicators is nowhere to be seen.

Companies deploy AI and hang themselves on a single model, an IT supplier warns

The release argues that the main risk in adopting artificial intelligence is not the technology but dependence on a single model vendor.

Source: Seyfor

Editor's note. The warning against depending on a single AI vendor comes from a vendor that sells integration. It rests on no data and no survey.

J&T Banka

A third of owners of large Czech companies are considering a sale within five years

31 % of the entrepreneurs surveyed are thinking about leaving the business and selling the company within five years; among those who started out between 1996 and 2005 it is 35 %. The survey covered over a hundred Czech companies with average annual turnover above 500 million koruna.

Source: J&T Banka

Editor's note. The wave of company sales is announced by a bank that sits on such deals as both adviser and financier. Who was asked and about what is not given; this is the first edition, so there is nothing to compare it with.

Krejčí, Rajf & partneři (NeplatUroky.cz)

A first-grader's kit at 3300 koruna, and a bill parliament will decide on

The release joins two things: school supplies cost around 3300 koruna, almost half of that the satchel, and an unexpected expense of 16,800 koruna is beyond a fifth of Czech households. Parliament meanwhile is to decide whether people lent money without proper checks keep today's statutory protection.

Source: Krejčí, Rajf & partneři (NeplatUroky.cz)

Editor's note. Behind the text is a law firm that lives off unchecked loans. The figures of 3,300 and 16,800 koruna rest on „publicly available sources“ with nothing more specific, and on the amendment it talks about the consequence, not the clause.
