Belgrade’s bus station moved in September 2024: the new BAS in New Belgrade’s Block 42 runs 65 platforms over 31,000 m² — with the landmark terminal building itself due in 2027.
After 58 years at Savski Venac, the Beogradska autobuska stanica relocated to Block 42 in New Belgrade on 27 September 2024 — next to the New Belgrade railway station, minutes from the E-75, the Gazela and Ada bridges. Passengers currently use a 1,200 m² temporary building; the full terminal — shaped like a spread Cyrillic П — is due by 2027, alongside a bus–rail interchange.
Trams 7, 9, 11 and 13 and a dozen bus lines serve the station; the BG Voz urban rail stop is planned to tie the hub together.
Lasta Beograd and the private carriers fan out across the Balkans: Niš, Novi Sad, Subotica domestically; Sarajevo, Podgorica, Skopje, Zagreb, Budapest and Vienna internationally, plus FlixBus long-hauls.
Practical: tickets at counters or online (email the payment proof within 24 hours); the station runs 24/7, and the centre is 15 minutes by tram.
The new BAS is the rare station move that works: ten minutes from the motorway instead of a crawl through Savamala, trams at the door, and the old riverside plot freed for the city. For travellers the rules are unchanged: coaches beat the railway on the whole Balkan grid — Sarajevo and Podgorica have no realistic train, and Budapest is cheaper by coach than by the work-in-progress railway. Buy online for weekends (the Friday Belgrade–Niš and Belgrade–Novi Sad runs fill), carry your QR ticket screenshot for the gates, and eat before you come — the temporary 2024–27 building is functional, not gastronomic. For the airport, do not backtrack to BAS: the A1 minibus and line 72 serve Nikola Tesla directly from the centre and Zeleni Venac.
