Worth knowing about Belgrade
- Belgrade has no operating metro: the system is still under construction, with Line 1 targeted for 2030 and the full network pushed back to 2033.
- The BG Voz suburban railway runs underground through the city centre using tunnels built for the abandoned 1970s metro project; Vukov Spomenik and Karadjordjev Park are underground stations opened in 1995.
- There is no rail link from the airport; a city-to-airport railway was announced with construction scheduled to start in 2024.
- Public transport in Belgrade has been free for all passengers since 1 January 2025, across all city and suburban lines, buses, trams, trolleybuses and the BG Train.
- The Tourist Organisation of Belgrade states the city became the first European city with more than 500,000 inhabitants to offer free public transport.
- The European Commission's Urban Mobility Observatory recorded the change, noting passengers no longer buy tickets for buses, trams or trolleybuses from 1 January 2025.
- The ticketing systems went with the fares. BusPlus, launched 1 February 2012, and its Beograd plus successor from 2023 were both discontinued on 1 January 2025.
- The network you ride free is large: 223 regular bus lines plus 23 night lines, 12 tram lines and 7 trolleybus lines.
- The BG Voz city rail service opened on 1 September 2010, extended to Batajnica in April 2011 and to Ovca in December 2016.
- Serbia requires prepaid mobile numbers to be registered. The Ministry of Information and Telecommunications set a 10 February 2025 deadline, with registration done at operator offices with an identification document.
- Unregistered Serbian prepaid numbers were cut back to emergency calls and registration traffic for 90 days after that deadline, then deactivated.
- Nikola Tesla Airport has been run by Vinci Airports since 21 December 2018 under a concession that now runs to 1 July 2044, and handled about 8.9 million passengers in 2025.
- The planned metro is two lines, Zeleznik to Mirijevo at 21.3 km and 23 stations, and Zemun to Mirijevo at 19.2 km and 20 stations. No tunnelling has begun.
- BG Voz runs three lines over 184 km, operated by JKP Beogradski metro i voz, and has been free to use since 2025, carrying about 20,000 passengers a day.
- Only two BG Voz stations are underground, Karadjordje's Park and Vukov Spomenik, linked to each other and to neighbouring stations by the Vracar and Dedinje tunnels under the city.
