Belgrade's public
transportation system
consists of busses,
tram, trolley busses,
and vans. In addition
there is an extensive
taxi service consisting
of numerous taxi
companies.
Belgrade
has an extensive public
transport system based
on
buses (118 urban lines
and more than 300
suburban lines), trams
(12 lines), and
trolleybuses (8 lines).
It is run by GSP Beograd
and SP Lasta, in
cooperation with private
companies on various bus
routes. Belgrade also
has a commuter rail
network,
Beovoz,
now run by city
government. The main
railway station connects
Belgrade with other
European capitals and
many towns in Serbia.
Travel by coach is also
popular, and the capital
is well-served with
daily connections to
every town in the
country. The motorway
system provides for easy
access to Novi Sad and
Budapest, the capital of
Hungary, in the north;
Niš
to the south; and
Zagreb,
to the west. Situated at
the confluence of two
major rivers, the Danube
and the Sava, Belgrade
has 7 bridges—the two
main ones are
Branko's bridge and
Gazela,
both of which connect
the core of the city to
New Belgrade. With the
city's expansion and a
substantial increase in
the number of vehicles,
congestion has become a
major problem; this is
expected to be
alleviated by the
construction of a bypass
connecting the E70 and
E75 highways. Further,
an "inner magistral
semi-ring" is planned,
including a new
Ada Bridge across the
Sava river, which is
expected to ease
commuting within the
city and unload the
Gazela and Branko's
bridge.
Two additional bridges
are planned, both over
the Danube.
