HEART: Šapić is Vučić's punishment
The Serbia Center Movement pointed out that Aleksandar Šapić is surrounded by people who "work at a slower pace" and experts who take exams at the Academy of Young Leaders of the Serbian Progressive Party, as well as that he rewarded the citizens of Belgrade with an additional tax on their Infostan bills, public transport with fewer departures and without a timetable, with holes in the budget, but also on the streets, without even an idea of how to finish what his predecessors started

Aleksandar Šapić: Still no explanation as to how the "Whites" are allowed to control your phone
By the end of June, the application through which the ticket can be paid will also start to function. However, here too the question of the authority of the controller arises, because the Constitution of Serbia guarantees the inviolability of the confidentiality of letters and other means of communication, and this also applies to complete telephone communication.

City manager Miroslav Čučković said that "every day" the number of people in Belgrade who, according to the new system, pay for city transport by "text" messages has increased.

Incompetence at a lower price
There is no question that public transport should not be paid for. But everything that accompanies the introduction of the new system points to the incompetence and even the arrogance of city leaders, and even one dinar is too much to give for that.

GSP: Houdini performance of the mayor of Belgrade
The potential problems with the new tickets in the City Transport Company are already noticeably numerous, and apart from everything that can go wrong when it comes to mobile phones - from empty batteries, to running out of credit and potential network congestion that can make it difficult to buy a ticket in a timely manner, it makes that citizens will be deprived during the validity period of the purchased paper ticket

GSP: How much does Šapić's ticket of 50 dinars really cost?
When you buy a ticket via SMS, it will be a few dinars more expensive, depending on who your operator is. The problem is that it is not indicated anywhere, and it should be, because it is prescribed by law

The tunnel near the Pančevački bridge: An unused resource for relieving city congestion
While Belgrade is suffocating in traffic jams, and the city government is trying to figure out what solution to offer for the functioning of city traffic, the capacities that were built as planned back in the 1970s remain unused. Little is known that the "Karaburma" tunnel, not far from the railway station on the Pančevačko bridge, was built with the idea of relieving the railway traffic from the Sava Amphitheatre, the Belgrade Donji Grad station and the port of Belgrade, but the plans changed

Aleksandar Šapić: Citizens of Belgrade, you did not understand, GSP will be cheaper
The discounts go up to almost 50 percent, which I think will make people decide to pay for transportation - said the mayor today, explaining to the citizens what he talked about yesterday and they apparently did not understand him.

Where is GSP going?
For more than ten years, the GSP has put an enormous burden on the city budget. That company is a loser, ticket collection in Belgrade is non-existent, there is a 15 to 20 percent surplus of employees, and a shortage of drivers. The problem persists, and no city government has been able to solve it for decades

The Myth of the Front Door: A Letter to Šapic from the North
Only the front door in Novi Sad allows public transport to be entered only at the starting stations of the lines. Later, during the drive, especially through the more central parts of the city where there is a greater turnover of passengers, one enters at any door, but of course (Belgrade citizens, listen!) only after patiently waiting for everyone who intends to get out, not to jostles with them in a desperate stampede for seats

Aleksandar Šapić: GSP to investigate the criminal police
In the City Transport Company, there is much to be explored and much will change. Tickets will not be more expensive for now, because it is pointless to increase the price of something that no one pays for. And as for Europride, he had nothing to do with it, doesn't have and won't have anything to do with it, although he doesn't wish "those people" any harm.
