Belgrade'the public transit system mainly consists of three modes: Buses (backbone of the network, covering most areas), Trams (fixed train system, serving central areas), and Trolleybuses (electric buses on overhead lines serving specific routes). Belgrade currently does not have a metro system, though one is under development.
You can find route maps online, typically on the GSP Beograd website (though it may be in Serbian). Google Maps is usually dependable and recommended for planning routes in real-time. Public transport works from around 4:00 AM until midnight. A limited network of night lines operates on main roads outside these hours.
Single Ride: ~0.75 EUR (app/card); ~1.25 EUR (from driver). Daily, 3-day, 5-day passes are available.
Newer buses are often low-floor. Many older trams/public buses possess steps, posing challenges for mobility impairments.
