The Serbian capital is set to make public transport entirely free for people in a bid to ease traffic congestion and delays.

Yeah but theres a catch as well - the timetables/schedules are scrapped too. So you wont know when will the bus arrive or will it even arrive at that day.

It doesn’t sound great when you realize you cant really enjoy a free bus ride when theres no bus coming.

Eh I wish - Im not sure which media can be considered as reputable sources in Serbia, but you can find more info here. Just use a translator or something.

Tl;dr - they’ll basically switch to a dynamic plan which indicates when circa the bus will arrive, but this is just a ploy to hide that busses are not arriving on time or at all.

I wouldn’t praise this move at all, it is not doing anything good for those living in Belgrade.
