Belgrad ist Europas erste Großstadt, die kostenlose öffentliche Verkehrsmittel anbietet | eKathimerini.com

If it’s anything like Sofia, people weren’t paying for it anyway 🤣

Belgrade iz choking in traffic. Traffic jams are enormous and are now regularly happening at any given moment during the day. This is the last ditch effort to make people use cars less.

Just to add a bit context here, currently in Serbia there are massive protests. Faculties and high schools are blocked, people are blocking the streets everyday at noon etc. This is just a populist decision to get some of the people on Vucic’s side. And also, as another commenter said, most of the people didn’t even pay for the transport in the first place.

Great for Belgrade, but it’s not the first.
Luxembourg has free transport since… 2020 or so. In the whole country.

ITT: people not understanding the meanings of the words “major” and “city”

Luxemburg: “Am I a joke to you?” 🇱🇺 😞

Do not fall for this being any sort of progressive manoeuvre, it’s pure populist propaganda move to quell ongoing protests caused by [criminal negligence and corruption](https://balkaninsight.com/2024/11/05/grief-sparks-furious-protest-in-serbia-after-novi-sad-station-disaster/) by the current ruling party.
