Novi Sad Train Fare Up 100 Dinars? Srbijavoz Denies
The rail operator says its price list has not changed and that only the timetable and stations change on October 12, while 021 reports the Novi Sad fare is 100 dinars higher.
A train ticket from Novi Sad to Belgrade now costs 656 dinars, and 808 dinars on the faster Soko service, which according to the portal 021 is 100 dinars more than before. On October 9, 2026, Srbijavoz responded with a statement denying any price increase and saying the valid passenger transport price list has not been changed. We reported on October 9, based on 021, that the Novi Sad-Belgrade fare had gone up, and now the company itself has spoken.
What does 021 claim, and what does Srbijavoz say?
According to 021, passengers from Novi Sad got the new prices together with the new stop, and without any notice from Srbijavoz. The reason, the portal says, is that trains to Belgrade now depart from the Novi Sad stop rather than from Petrovaradin, so the journey is one station longer.
In its statement, Srbijavoz said that “there has been no change in train ticket prices, nor any change to the valid passenger transport price list.” The changes taking effect on Monday, October 12, the company says, concern the timetable, the departure and terminal stations of certain trains, and the opening of the new TPS Novi Sad stop, not prices.
The statement, as the media report it, does not give specific ticket amounts for the Novi Sad-Belgrade route. On amounts, the company offers only a general formulation:
“It is important to distinguish between a change in the price of transport per kilometer and the total amount of a ticket for a given route”
According to sd.rs, the company added to that line the claim that “the changes taking effect on October 12 do not imply an increase in tariffs for passenger rail transport.”
What changes on October 12?
The stop on Rumenacki Put opened to passengers on October 7, when, according to sd.rs, testing of the new traffic regime also began. The changes mostly affect the Belgrade, Novi Sad and Subotica line, and passengers on Soko express trains get a changed timetable and a new place to board and leave the train in Novi Sad.
The same portal reports that, alongside the story about prices, some media also raised problems with construction deadlines, train delays and traffic organization after the stop opened.
What about monthly and annual tickets?
The question remains open for people who regularly travel from Novi Sad to Belgrade. According to 021, it is unclear whether subscription tickets will be valid at the old price or whether a surcharge will be possible. The portal says Srbijavoz’s call center told customers to ask again on Monday, October 12, when the new timetable officially takes effect.
Srbijavoz urges passengers to check ticket prices, the timetable and traffic organization on srbijavoz.rs, in the mobile app, at station ticket offices, or by calling the call center on 011 360 28 99.
