Belgrade has an extensive public transport network, covering almost all areas of the old city, Novi Beograd, Zemun and other out-lying areas. The network itself consists of a large fleet of buses, trolley buses and trams ? 1,000 vehicles to be exact ? but even this is not enough, and public transport in Belgrade is always crowded during rush hour.
Tickets for the public transport network cost RSD 50 (~€0.5) when purchased at a kiosk (known locally as a trafika), or RSD 100 (~€1) when purchased from the driver. All tickets must be validated in manually-operated punching machines inside the vehicle. Transport authorities routinely check tickets for validation ? particularly at peak hours on major lines ? and an infraction can land you with an uncomfortable fine, which sets you back about €30. Those tickets are not valid for Minibuses (E1–E8) and BeoVoz commuter rail.
If you are going to spend an extended period in Belgrade, and intend to use public transport a lot, than you can buy passes that range from 15 days to 1 month. Those must be purchased at the public transport department, and can be somewhat difficult for foreigners to acquire, since the process is long (filling out forms with most of your personal information) and attendants do not speak English.
