The village of Lčovice has its own railway station located in lower.
This railway (track 198) was built in 1850 and runs from Volary to Strakonice.
When this railway was first completed there was major complaints from residents about the loud noise produced by the steam engine.
Although these critics quickly realised this was a small price to pay, as they now were connected with many other villages which meant they could trade with each other far easier than before the railway.
People could now travel to different places in a relatively short time, whereas previously a trip to a big town or city like Prague would have been a two-day horse ride.


In the modern day the railway has services which run throughout the day, although there have been fears the railway will be closed, it provides major tourism for the region of South Bohemia, and in Winter where skiers travel to Kubova Huť which had amazing ski slopes.

In June 2009 there was heavy rainfall which damaged the train line, and the section from Malenice to Čkyně was closed for repairs.
The Lčovice train station was servilely damaged, due to the surface run-off from the hillside above.
The České dráhy (Czech railways) got money from the European Union to rebuild the track and prevent future damage.
A large platform was then built with a drain to allow the water to escape without affecting the track.
The platform has been heavily objected by criticism from villagers stating that it ruins the typical village train station 'feel' and looks more like that of a large city train station.
Many large towns on the 198 route also do not have any platforms so it does seem strange that Lčovice has this.
The one advantage it does provide however is easy access is for pensioners and people with disabilities, as there is no need to climb up to the train as previously.

Other than the train station is the Route 4 road which runs along the valley above upper.
This is connected to upper and lower via a smaller road.
Route 4 goes directly to Prague.
So this provides quick access to the village and encourages tourism.

Other transport services include three bus stops, one located on the main road (Route 4) one in the middle of upper Lčovice and one for the lower residents located next to the train station.
Buses travel through these stops throughout the day.

Cycle route 1233 runs right through lower Lčovice.
