A temporary railway station is slated for construction in Novi Sad, Serbia, but the announcement has been met with criticism due to planned fare increases for train travel to Belgrade. Journalist Aleksandra Reves, a frequent commuter on the Novi Sad-Belgrade line, has publicly questioned the justification for the price hikes, describing the situation as disruptive and the increases unwarranted. The fare increases are occurring concurrently with the infrastructure improvements. Details regarding the temporary station’s completion date and the extent of the fare increases have not been fully disclosed. Concerns center on the impact on daily commuters and the perceived lack of transparency surrounding the pricing adjustments. The situation has sparked debate about the balance between infrastructure development and affordability of public transportation.
