regions with better accessibility for night-shift commuting corresponds to regions
with higher levels of employers with multi-shift operation (mostly NW, NE and
central areas).
Figure 4 depicts the changes of the rate of accessible municipalities (RA) from
early morning to late morning and to evening. For commuting at 9 o

' clock, only

three regions indicate an increase of accessibility Prague and surrounding districts

(AB, PZ, PY) what may correspond to later starts of working hours. Very low
changes in accessibility are evident in Brno and its surrounding (BM, BO) and
surprisingly also in Karlovy Vary district (KV). Small decrease of accessibility
(about 10

—

30 %) is found in the NE part of the CR (Moravian-Silesian region),
partially in the SE part of the CR, western border regions and central Bohemia. Vice
versa, a central part of the CR (near regional borders of Vyso

-

ina, South Moravia,
South Bohemia and Pardubice region) shows a substantial drop of the accessibility
level (RA 9

č

is more than 4 times smaller than RA 6 ). Results for commuting at 22

o shrinkage of well serviced areas

around Prague (AB) and Brno (BM), persisting better situation around Ostrava
(OV) and overall substantial decreasing of accessibility in almost all other districts.
