021 examines why Smart Plan did not change Novi Sad public transport

Published: June 19, 2026 at 08:12 AM. Updated: June 19, 2026 at 08:12 AM.

021 writes that the 2019 Smart Plan promised to overhaul Novi Sad transport but has been only partly fulfilled seven years later: JGSP received 100 CNG buses and 10 electric buses, while director Milan Balac says another 30-50 vehicles are needed. The city does not plan extra bus lanes because of parking and costs, ridership fell by 2.448 million passengers in 2025, and a new intelligent-transport strategy is expected by the end of 2026.
