and several private companies. All companies participate in Integrated Tariff System (ITS), which makes tickets transferable between companies and vehicle types. Tickets can be purchased in numerous kiosks or from the driver. They must be validated inside the vehicle and are valid for one ride only. On February 1, 2012, BusPlus, a modern electronic system for managing vehicles and transportation tickets in public transport was introduced, a system based on a vague contract which does not explicitly state the profit made by Apex Technology Solutions, and the giveaway of advertising space on bus stations.


Buses

The main Belgrade Bus Station is located at Železnička 4. City public bus transportation is operated by 7 main carriers: *Gradsko saobraćajno preduzeće Beograd (GSP) – city-owned company * Saobraćajno preduzeće LastaСП Ласта
– SP Lasta
*Udruženje privatnih prevoznika (Association of private carriers) *Arriva LUVArriva LUV
– Arriva LUV
*Poslovno udruženje Beobus *Tamnava trans *Domiko There are 149 regular lines and 25 night lines. Night lines are 15, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 37, 47, 48, 51, 56, 68, 75, 101, 202, 301, 304, 308, 401, 511, 601, 603, 704, 706. Presto: 15, 26, 101, 601
Arriva (formerly Veolia): 47, 48, 51, 56, 68, 202, 706

Lasta: 31, 37, 308, 401, 511
LUI Travel: 27, 29, 75, 301 Night lines that are abolished are: 7, 9, 11, 96, 701. Night lines that are introduced are: 33, 37, 48, 704 and 706. Night line 304 goes as trolleybus line 28 (Makedonska - Svetogorska - Takovska - Jaše Prodanovića - Cvijićeva - Dimitrija Tucovića) and her next route is: Batutova - Bulevar kralja Aleksandra - Smederevski put - Profesora Vasića - Palih boraca - Miloša Obrenovića - Vinča - Miloša Obrenovića - Palih boraca - Profesora Vasića - Smederevski put - Kružni put - Ravan - Leštane - Ravan - Kružni put - Smederevski put - Put za Boleč - Maršala Tita - Jumbina - Boleč - Jumbina - Maršala Tita - Put za Boleč - Smederevski put - Put za Ritopek - Maršala Tita - Ritopek. Night line 401 goes as tramway line 10 (Cara Dušana - Džordža Vašingtona - 27. marta - Starine Novaka - Beogradska - Trg Slavija - Bulevar oslobođenja - Trg oslobođenja - Vojvode Stepe - Bebelova - Baštovanska) and her next route is: Paunova - Bulevar oslobođenja - Put za Avalu - Vase Čarapića - Beli potok - Vase Čarapića - Put za Avalu - Put za Pinosavu - Pinosava. Each of the regular lines is operated by GSP and by one of the other carriers, while night lines are conducted only by private carriers. Private carriers were introduced in 1990s after many strikes in GSP, which had the monopoly till then. There were many unsuccessful efforts by the city after 2000 to unify them into the same ticket system. Finally, in 2004 it was agreed that ITS (integrated tariff system) will be introduced. These 6 companies will carry the public transportation till 2012, when the City Government will decide whether GSP is going to remain the only transport company.

Tramways and trolleys

The first tram line was introduced in 1892. The current extent of the network track has been unchanged since 1988, though with some re-routings of the tram lines. Trams and trolleys are operated exclusively by GSP Beograd, and there are 11 regular tram lines and 7 regular trolleybus lines. Belgrade has 11 current trams (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14). Tram line 2 (''dva'') is a circular line around the downtown, so often downtown is referred to as ''krug dvojke'' (the circle of line 2). Tram Lines: * 2 – Pristаnište – Vukov spomenik – Pristаnište * 3 – Kneževаc – Slavija – Omladinski stadion * 5 – Kаlemegdаn (Donji grad) – Ustаničkа * 6 – Tаšmаjdаn – Ustаničkа * 7 – Ustаničkа – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * 9 – Banjica – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * 10 – Kalemegdan (Donji grad) – Banjica * 11 – Kalemegdan (Donji grad) – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * 12 – Bаnovo brdo – Omlаdinski stаdion * 13 – Banovo brdo – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * 14 – Ustanička – Banjica Tram network and termini: All the revenue service track is constructed as parallel double track with terminal loops. There are 8 revenue service loops in the system: Kneževac, Omladinski stadion, Kalemegdan, Ustanička, Tašmajdan, Block 45, Banjica, Banovo brdo. There are further 9 auxiliary loops: Pristanište, Slavija, Autokomanda, Trošarina, Radio industrija, Gospodarska mehana, Topčider, Railway station, Rakovica. Only the first three are actively used for cutting short during the schedule disruptions. The loops Slavija and Autokomanda are located in roundabouts and are normally used for the revenue thru-traffic. Other auxiliary loops are used only as alternatives during the closures. The last two loops (Rakovica and Railway Station) are defunct. The track at Rakovica is disconnected from the main line. The loop at Railway station was recently reconstructed but is completely out of use due to unworkable design. The circular line 2 does not use loops at its terminus at Pristanište. It makes the service stops on the main line instead. Tram depots: There are 3 tram depots in Belgrade. Sava is the central active service depot built in New Belgrade in 1988. Dorćol ("Lower depot") is the historical electrical cars depot from 1894 which is used only for auxiliary and overhaul purposes. It is co-located with the active service trolleybus depot. The two single-track lines leading to it are the only exceptions to otherwise parallel double track network in the system and are not used in the revenue service. The third "Upper depot" is the historical horse-drawn cars depot from 1892. It retains its track but was recently disconnected from the main line. The depot is completely void of trams and is now housing only the overhead wiring maintenance unit. The plans to adapt it into the public transportation museum have never materialised. Trolley Lines: The first trolleybus line was introduced in 1947 to replace trams on the central corridor Kalemegdan-Slavija. The network extent is unchanged since late 1980s, though with minor relocation of the central terminus from Kalemegdan to Studentski trg in late 1990s. Belgrade has 7 current trolleybuses (19, 21, 22, 28, 29, 40 and 41). * 19 – Studentski trg – Konjаrnik * 21 – Studentski trg – Učiteljsko nаselje * 22 – Studentski trg – Kruševаčkа * 28 – Studentski trg – Zvezdara * 29 – Studentski trg – Medаković 3 * 40 – Zvezdara – Bаnjicа 2 * 41 – Studentski trg – Bаnjicа 2 Trolley network and termini: There are 4 revenue service terminal loops in the system: Studentski trg, Konjarnik, Banjica 2, Medaković 3. The peripheral termini Učiteljsko naselje, Kruševačka and Zvezdara have no purpose-built loops: the trolleybuses are circling around the city block instead. Additionally, there are 3 auxiliary loops in the system: Slavija, Crveni krst and Banjica 1. The auxiliary loops are actively used for cutting short during the schedule disruptions (the line number carries the suffix "L" on the departures to be cut short). Crveni krst and Banjica 1 can be used only in the direction towards the peripheral termini, Slavija can be used in both directions.


Minibuses

In April 2007, six

lines were introduced (E1-E7, except E3) which criss-cross Belgrade. Minibuses are all air-conditioned, smaller and generally quicker than buses. However, tickets are bought inside a minibus and they are more expensive than ordinary ones – since minibuses are out of integrated tariff system. Minibus City Lines: *A1.Slavija – Aerodrom „Nikolа Teslа“ /Express/ – LINE TO THE AIRPORT *E1.Ustanička – Blok 45 *E2.Dunav stanica – Petlovo Brdo *E5.Zvezdara (Pijaca) – Novi Beograd (Blok 70) (line has almost same route as 50) *E6.Novi Beograd (Blok 45) – Mirijevo 4 *E9.Dorćol (SRC "Milan Gale Muškatirović") – Kumodraž Night Lines: * 15 – Trg Republike – Zemun (Novi grad) * 26 – Dorćol (Dunavska street) – Braće Jerković * 27 – Trg Republike – Mirijevo 3 * 29 – Studentski trg – Medaković 3 * 31 – Studentski trg – Konjarnik * 32 – Trg Republike – Višnjica * 33 – Trg Republike – Kumodraž * 37 – Trg Republike – Kneževac (line has shorter route of line 37) * 47 – Trg Republike – Resnik (Railway station) * 48 – Trg Republike – Miljakovac 2 * 51 – Trg Republike – Bele Vode * 56 – Trg Republike – Petlovo brdo – Rušanj * 68 – Trg Republike – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * 75 – Trg Republike – Bežanijska kosa * 101 – Trg Republike – Padinska skela * 202 – Trg Republike – Veliko selo * 301 – Trg Republike – Begaljica * 304 – Trg Republike – Ritopek * 308 – Trg Slavija – Veliki Mokri Lug * 401 – Dorćol /garage/ – Pinosava * 511 – Trg Republike – Sremčica * 601 – Main railway station – Dobanovci * 603 – Trg Republike – Ugrinovci * 704 – Trg Republike – Nova Galenika – Zemun polje * 706 – Trg Republike – Batajnica Lines that are ceased to exist: * 7 – Ustanička – Slavija – Block 45 (New Belgrade) (night line) * 7L – Tašmajdan – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * 9 – Banjica 2 – Block 45 (New Belgrade) (night line) * 11 – Tašmajdan – Kalemegdan – Block 45 (New Belgrade) (night line) * 13 – Kalemegdan (Donji grad) – Banovo brdo * 22L – Studentski trg – Trg Slavija * 27L – Vukov spomenik – Mirijevo * 34 – Admirala Geprata – Železnička stanica ″Beograd centar″ * 34L – Železnička stanica ″Beograd centar" – Bolnica ″Dragiša Mišović″ * 36 – Trg Republike – Viline vode – Dunav Stanica * 69 – GO Novi Beograd – Depo Sava * 93 – Pančevački most /Railway station/ – Zvezdara (Pijaca) * 96 – Trg Republike – Kotež – Borča 3 (night line) * 110 – Padinska skela – Široka greda * 302L – Ustanička – Restoran ″Boleč″ * 306L – Ustanička – Leštane * 404 – Voždovac – Ripanj (Brđani) * 406 – Voždovac – Stara Lipovica * 552 – Main railway station – Umka * 600 – Bežanija (Ledine) – Dobanovci * 602 – Surčin – Jakovo * 606 – Surčin – Dobanovci * 701 – Trg Republike – Nova Galenika – Zemun polje – Nova Pazova (night line) * E3 – Cerak vinogradi – Block 45 (New Belgrade) * E4 – Bežanijska kosa – Mirijevo 3 * E7 – Pančevački most /Railway station/ – Petlovo brdo * E8 – Dorćol (SRC ″Milan Gale Muškatirović″) – Braće Jerković

system, started its operation. The first line at the time connected Pančevački Most Station with Novi Beograd Railway Station and used the semi-underground level of Beograd Centar rail station, two underground stations (Vukov Spomenik and Karađorđev park) and tunnels in the city centre that were built for ground rail tracks to Novi Beograd. The line had just 5 stations (Pančevački most, Vukov spomenik, Karađorđev park, Beograd Centar and Novi Beograd, which it shared with Beovoz), was 8 kilometer long and the commute took about 16 minutes. Train frequency was from 30 minutes with 15 minutes frequency during rush hour. The line uses the stock similar to suburban Soviet/Latvian electric rolling stocks with upper current collectors including ER31 with 3 doors along the side of car. In April 2011, the line was extended to Batajnica, and in December 2016 to Ovča. The new line has a daily riding of about 18500. A new line from Ovča to Resnik is planned to open in 2018.


Suburban


Buses

Suburban bus transportation is conducted by SP Lasta. Beside Lasta, certain number of suburban lines are operated by other carriers, too. Suburban transport on the territory of Belgrade is performed within the integrated tariff system 2 (ITS2), with over 300 lines and 2,500 daily departures. The network of suburban lines spreads radially from Belgrade to the centers of the suburban municipalities, from which Lasta's local lines can be used to reach smaller places. Suburban buses depart from the Lasta Bus Station in Belgrade and from the terminus of Šumice near

In addition, there are 5 more railway stations in Belgrade (Centar – Prokop, Dunav, Rakovica, Novi Beograd, Zemun). Some long distance and international trains do not call at Central Station, but at Novi Beograd. A new central railway station has been under construction since 1977 at the site named Prokop. The new railway station will be called "Beograd Center"; upon its completion all Belgrade rail traffic currently handled by the old railway station situated near the downtown district will be transferred to the new station freeing thousands of square meters of prime real estate along the

and substantially easing the rail travel into Belgrade. After years of delay, this ambitious project is set to be completed in the next few years pending the new international tender for its completion set to be announced by the government at the beginning of March 2006. The train terminals will be situated underground while the vast passenger terminal will be above ground featuring commercial spaces, possibly a hotel and other amenities. Most of the rough work on the station's train terminals has been completed thus far. Belgrade has been restricted in its use of its vast waterfront precisely because of the large rail infrastructure that hug the river banks of the Old Town. Completion of this station is signaling a major boom in Belgrade's waterfront development.
