History
Its history dates back to 14 October 1892 when the first horse tram line began operating in Belgrade between
1940–1990
In 1940, the tram traffic plied on 10 lines. Belgrade has disposed of 104 trams, 60 trailers and 87 buses. The following year, the bombing of Belgrade destroyed 38 trams, 36 trailers and 10 buses. In 1945, the company changed its name to the Department of traffic lights and the Executive Committee of the City of Belgrade. In Belgrade Radio 4 tram and bus lines 3 with a total of 58 vehicles. In 1947, the first trolley was introduced to the line Kalemegdan – Slavija.
In 1955, in Belgrade was 8 tram lines with 162 trams, three trolley lines with 42 trolley buses and 14 bus routes with 148 buses. In 1956, he was released into operation first trolleybus domestic production - "Goša FOM". Belgrade and Zemun are associated trolley lines. As of 1960, there was 38 lines (7 tram, 6 trolleybus and 14 bus). Number of vehicles in inventory stood at 467. In 1961, 160 Leyland buses were purchased.
In 1962,
1990–2000
By the decision of the Assembly of Belgrade, GSP "Belgrade" in 1990 became a public utility company, founded by the city. In 1991, with a total of 1,393 vehicles, with average age of 4.5 years, the streets of Belgrade was at the peak was about 1,130 vehicles a day carrying about 2.5 million passengers. The crisis in the former
During 1994 and 1995, the GSP managed to raise the level of transportation, revitalize the fleet to an average of 909 vehicles on weekdays. At the beginning of 1998, in public transport private transporters were included. Compared to the previous year, it had 127 vehicles less, along with a tendency of further decline. The unified tariff system ceased to exist and passed on ticketing in vehicles by the conductor. After the start of
2011–present
In 2011, GSP Belgrade began with the acquisition of new CAF Urbos 3 trams. By the end of 2012, it supplied 30 trams of this model. The new trams are commonly referred to as Španac (Spaniard) by Belgrade's residents.
GSP Belgrade introduced BusPlus on 1 February 2012. BusPlus is an electronic payment method where commuters load fares on a thin plastic card.[5] Also, the private carriers were introduced and integrated in tariff system – Integrated Tariff System (ITS).[6] There are 145 lines, out of which 12 are tram, 8 are trolleybus and 125 are bus lines. Service operates daily between 4 am and midnight, with a limited night bus system. GSP also operates school bus lines, and transportation for the disabled. The entire traffic grid is divided in two zones.
As of 2017, GSP Belgrade has 1,582 vehicles in operation.[7] Most of GSP's revenue is still generated through subsidies by the city of Belgrade; in 2017, that amount stood at 65 million euros.[8] As of 2018, GSP operated with 170 lines and had 1,611 active vehicles.[9]
In April 2019, GSP along with the city of Belgrade signed a contract to purchase 244 new buses, of which 70 are manufactured by Turkish
In October 2021, GSP signed a contract to purchase 100 CNG buses with Turkish BMC.
In April 2023, the City Assembly of Belgrade voted in favour of terminating the contract with KentKart which provided the BusPlus tracking app, as well as fare collection services.
A brand new state-owned enterprise called "Naplata prevozne usluge" was created, dedicated to collecting GSP fares. The Municipal police was tasked with collecting fares which are now bought through SMS.
While the fares became quite a bit cheaper, this was a controversial decision because the termination of the Kentkart contract meant the BusPlus transit tracking app stopped working, as the city didn't have access to
