Get around with “GSP”
Basic activitiy of “GSP Belgrade” is urban and suburban transportation of passengers.

Belgrade has an extensive public transport network, covering almost all areas of the old city, Novi Beograd, Zemun and other out-lying areas. The network itself consists of a large fleet of busses, trolley buses and trams - more then 1,000 vehicles, but even this is not enough, and public transport in Belgrade is almost always crowded during rush hour. (most of this crowds are about 1-2pm , 5-6pm , 9-10pm)

Price of tickets depends of tariff zones (1. tariff zone / 1. & 2. tariff zone)

Borders between Zone 1 and Zone 2 are: Galenika settlement (Geomasina station), Kvantas market (Grmec station), Bezanije - Ledine, Blok 45, Zeleznik (Zikice Jovanovica station), Cukarica, Petlovo brdo (Kruzni Put station), Banjica II (Zupa station), Rakovica (Manastir i Kijevo station), Kumodraz II, Mirijevo (terminus), terminus Ustanicka, Karaburma (turning), Lesce cemetery, Bisnjicka Banja, Krnjaca (Servo Mihalj station, primary school “Rada Koncar”).
Borders of the Zone 2 are end stations of GSP’s suburban lines.

*Daily ticket for the public transport network (for all types of vehicle) cost 29 RSD / 46 RSD when purchased at a kiosk (known locally as a trafika), or 40 RSD / 60 RSD when purchased from the driver. All tickets must be validated in manually-operated stamping machines inside the vehicle. Transport authorities routinely check tickets for validation – particularly at peak hours on major lines – and an infraction can land you with an uncomfortable fine. (about 1500 RSD)

If you are going to spend an extended period in Belgrade, and intend to use public transport a lot, than you can buy passes that range from 15 days to 1 month. Those must be purchased at the public transport department, and can be somewhat difficult for foreigners to acquire, since the process is long (filling out forms with most of your personal information) and attendants do not speak English.

*It is valid only for daily transport: from 04.00H to 24.00H

By bus - “GSP”

There are over 120 urban and over 300 suburban bus lines. There are also several seasonal lines, including Ada1-Ada5, the five lines which can take you to Ada Ciganlija, and one seasonal, weekend-only line (400) which goes to the summit of Mt Avala. As of July 2007, most of the bus fleet is less than five years old. The area around Zeleni Venac is a major bus hub in the city center, with many lines going to and from Novi Beograd and Zemun stopping there.

By tram - “GSP”

There are 12 tram lines in Belgrade, three of which are connected to New Belgrade. Line 2 is famous in the city with a circular route, running in both directions. The circle is known as krug dvojke (#2’s circle) and rings the central city streets.

By trolleybus - “GSP”

Trolleybuses run only in Old Belgrade, connecting the city center to east and south-east. There are eight trolleybus lines.

By minibus - it’s use “GSP” station points

As of April 2007, six minibus lines were introduced (E1-E7, except E3) which criss-cross Belgrade. Later, two more lines were added - E3 and E8. Minibuses are all air-conditioned, smaller and generally quicker than regular city buses. However, tickets are bought only inside a minibus and they are more expensive than ordinary ones. As of November 2007, minibus fare is 70 RSD.

EXPRESS MINIBUS LINES:
E1 Konjarnik - Novi Beograd (Blok 45)
E2 Petlovo brdo - Dorcol (Cara Dušana)
E3 Cerak vinogradi - Novi Beograd (Blok 61)
E4 Ustanicka - Bežanijska kosa
E5 Ada Ciganlija - Zvezdara
E6 Mirijevo - Novi Beograd (Blok 61)
E8 Naselje “Brace Jerkovic” - Karaburma II

By taxi

Taxis are cheap and plentiful, and you can either stop one in the street, or call a taxi company. Make sure that you ride only in licensed cabs, which carry a little blue sign with the city coat of arms and a number on it, or you may end up paying too much. Never take a privately owned cab (the ones with the white marker on the top that does not list the name of the company), since you can pay up to four times the normal price.
Throughout 2007, major changes are being implemented in the taxi system, as cars are modernized to include receipt printers and an option to pay by card, though it will take some time for the whole taxi network to include this.

By bicycle

Old Belgrade is pretty hilly and the bicycle infrastructure is scarce, so bicycle transport isn’t in wide use. However, New Belgrade and Zemun are relatively flat and offer enough space for bikes to be used. Bicycle tracks link Zemun, Dorcol and Ada Ciganlija, while others are placed in Bežanijska kosa quarter. Some 50 kilometers (31 mi) of new tracks are being built in New Belgrade. There is a bike lift on Brankov Bridge and the ride is free of charge and there are also some 50 bicycle racks around the city.
Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring bikes into public transport vehicles.

By car

You can also use car, but keep this in mind:

There are many streets which have yellow lanes. They are reserved for public transport, i.e. buses and taxis, and you are not allowed to use them. The yellow lanes are marked with a yellow line, and are indicated on traffic signs. Some yellow lanes, though, are active only in certain periods of the day, usually during rush hours.

There are new spaces for parking in the city center. There is a large carpark with 500 spaces under the old palace in the city center, over the road from the national parliament building.

There are also several public car parks where you can park for an unlimited amount of time during day. Fees are charged on an hourly basis. In some non-zoned areas, parking is also charged depending on duration of your stay and this is paid in cash to parking attendant.

Saturday 14.00 - Monday 7.00 the parking is free.
