GSP Belgrade
GSP Belgrade (Serbian: ГСП Београд / GSP Beograd) is a public transit company for the city of Belgrade. The acronym "GSP" stands for Gradsko saobraćajno preduzeće (Градско саобраћајно предузеће, English: City Transport Company). GSP has approximately 6,200 employees.
History
Its history dates back to October 14, 1892 when the first horse tram line began operating in Belgrade between Slavija and Terazije. It was known under the name Beogradska varoška železnica (Београдска варошка железница, English: Belgrade City Rail). The first bus line was opened in 1925 and in 1947 the first trolleybuses appeared in Belgrade.
Nowadays, GSP Beograd operates in conjunction with private companies in providing bus transport, using an ITS - Integrated Tariff System. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks or from the driver, former being the preferred and cheaper way. Entire traffic grid is divided in two zones. Zone 1 covers most of the urban region of the city, with the second zone surrounding it. Ticket price is higher for single rides that cross the zone boundary. Monthly passes are also available, with discounts for the employed, students, the disabled and pensioners.
Belgrade
Belgrade (/ˈbɛlɡreɪd/; Serbian: Beograd / Београд; [beǒɡrad]; names in other languages) is the capital and largest city of Serbia. It is located at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, where the Pannonian Plain meets the Balkans. Its name translates to "White city". The city has a population of 1.23 million, while over 1.65 million people live within city limits .
One of the most important prehistoric cultures of Europe, the Vinča culture, evolved within the Belgrade area in the 6th millennium BC. In antiquity, Thraco-Dacians inhabited the region, and after 279 BC Celts conquered the city, naming it Singidūn. It was conquered by the Romans during the reign of Augustus, and awarded city rights in the mid-2nd century. It was settled by the Slavs in the 520s, and changed hands several times between the Byzantine Empire, Frankish Empire, Bulgarian Empire and Kingdom of Hungary before it became the capital of Serbian king Stephen Dragutin (1282–1316). In 1521, Belgrade was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and became the seat of the Sanjak of Smederevo. It frequently passed from Ottoman to Habsburg rule, which saw the destruction of most of the city during the Austro-Ottoman wars. Belgrade was again named the capital of Serbia in 1841. Northern Belgrade remained the southernmost Habsburg post until 1918, when the city was reunited. As a strategic location, the city was battled over in 115 wars and razed to the ground 44 times. Belgrade was the capital of Yugoslavia (in various forms of governments) from its creation in 1918, to its final dissolution in 2006.
