In the Srem section of the city, the plan is to develop 16.18 kilometers of a two-track tram railway, with 17.91 km in the Sumadija section and 10 km in the Banat section.

BG Voz

The master plan of the development of the transportation infrastructure – SMART PLAN from 2017 envisages the further development of the BG Voz system, and the proposed planning solutions are included in this plan.

The implementation and realization of line 4 of BG Voz is planned as well, on the route from the New Belgrade railway station to the Nikola Tesla Airport and further to Surcin – Surcinska Street, the National Stadium and then through the territory of the municipality of Surcin toward Obrenovac.

The further expansion of the railway network and the implementation of new BG Voz lines will enable the connection of the municipality of Obrenovac to the system of the city and suburban railway. The connection of Obrenovac to this system can be realized through an extension of the planned line 4 from the direction of the National Stadium.

In addition to said things, there’s also a plan to build the capacities of the Beograd Centar railway station, to reconstruct the capacities at the Beograd Ranzirna station for the purposes of the forming of a container terminal, to build RTC Beograd in Makis, to build TPS Zemun and Kijevo and to build the New Belgrade railway station.
