This morning in Belgrade, for the fourth time in the last month and a half, a bus on line 511, which runs on the route Sremčica - Belgrade, caught fire. One of the citizens' comments was: "Does someone have to die in order to change the buses?" Do not pay the ticket in 511. Do not enter 511"
At the end of November 2023, a bus on route 351 burned down in Vojislav Ilića Street near the Blue Bridge. Two days before that, a GSP bus was literally cut in half near the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. At the end of October last year, a bus on route 704 burned down on Brankova Most. In June 2022, a bus operating on route 706 burned down on Brankova Street...
And this morning, around 6:40 a.m., bus line 511 caught fire on Obrenovački put, the SerbiaLive Instagram page reports.
"From Sremčica, the stench of arson spread, and here in Obrenovački, it started to burn." How long, we ask ourselves?", it is written under the video on this page's Instagram.
The comments started pouring in because it is no news that the buses on route 511 are mostly defective.
One of the comments reads: "Does someone have to die to change the buses?" Do not pay the ticket in 511. Do not enter 511".
They are also wondering if it is the same bus on which the door was broken two days ago, and yesterday there was a video of the door falling off the bus on route 511.
The consortium of private carriers "Avala Bus 500", responsible for route 511, announced afterwards that the incident happened on Tuesday and that the doors were broken down by passengers, reports N1.
Recent protests in Sremčica
During February, citizens also organized protests in Sremčica due to increasingly frequent breakdowns and incidents on line 511. The citizens then wanted to send a message to the city administration and the city of Beorgad.
The organizer of the protest, Stevan Banjac, told TV Nova at the time that in the last month and a half, three vehicles on this line caught fire. With today's incident, it is the fourth vehicle.
In addition to all this, the 511 line also operated without a rear window, with the windows unglued, and we can often see that this is not the case only on this line. It happened that on lines 71 and 25 windows were also unglued.
Other buses or trams were also set on fire, while they were driving they could feel the burning, so the citizens got out of the city transport in a panic.
According to the protest organizer Stevan Banjac, the breakdown of city transport, whether it is a private person, like on line 511, is certainly within the competence of the city administration of the Secretariat for Public Transport.
