After several announcements and changes in how much a ticket will cost in Belgrade's public transport in the future, according to information from the Secretariat for Public Transport, it will not change until further notice.
"Until all the legal and formal conditions are met and all the procedures regarding the adoption of the new price list and the new way of buying tickets in Belgrade are completed, the existing rules related to public transport remain valid," the Secretariat announced.
Mayor Aleksandar Šapić himself said that the citizens of Belgrade will use public transport at new prices from May. Admittedly, that the price changed from day to day.
First, the daily ticket was 200 dinars, and the time ticket of 90 minutes was abolished. The very next day, the price of a daily ticket dropped to 120, and a time ticket of 90 minutes was resurrected and cost 50 dinars.
It was also heard that those younger than 19 and older than 65 will not pay for transportation, and that the night will be free for everyone.
For now, it is difficult to guess how long it will take to fulfill all the legal and formal conditions and complete all the procedures regarding the adoption of the new price list.
The tender for the procurement of software and equipment for urban transport is ongoing, the deadline for submission of offers is May 4. The deadline for completing the work is 180 days, or six months.
If not before, then from November. If there are no other changes.
