The initial segment of Line B was from Florenc southwest to Smíchovské nádrazí, opened on November 2 1985. The line has been extended at both ends, reaching Cerný Most on November 8 1998.
A planned further extension of the line towards the airport has been deferred in favour of new Line D. Originally envisaged as a branch of Line C south from Pankrác to Pisnice in the south, Line D is to extend further north to also interchange with Line A at Námestí Míru.
