Bus travel tips - Novi Sad to Belgrade

To get to the bus station from the centre of Novi Sad, or from the main road which dissects the city, Bulevar Oslobođenja, take the number 4 bus

If travelling between Novi Sad and Belgrade by bus, the "Lasta" carrier is worth plumping for because of the leg space and abundant air conditioning. It also travels via the highway between the two cities. It is a little more expensive than the other companies, but not by much.

Many of the carriers pull up at every haystack, stopping in places as bemusing as "Inđija" which, before I had learned the Serbian alphabet, naively led me to believe I was only a hop and a jump away over the Serbian countryside to New Delhi. But no, it is pronounced een-jee-jah.

So the motorway is the way to go - learn the word "autoput" and you'll be fine.

Here's the timetable for buses leaving Novi Sad. The English option may not be functioning (I clicked on it today and was greeted with the Cyrillic script), but you can easily change the date and find Beograd (Belgrade).
