Bus 72 to Zeleni venacorBus 600 to Beograd Centar railway station?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Bus 72 to Zeleni venac reaches Republic Square and Terazije, with Zeleni venac — the market square just below Terazije where bus 72 ends — at one end and Slavija, where the A1 ends, a kilometer and a half south; the Bus 600 to Beograd Centar railway station does not. The main railway station and the main bus station, not the center: Prokop is 2.7 km from Republic Square with no metro. Take it for an onward train or coach; take the 72 for the city.

The Bus 600 to Beograd Centar railway station is quicker: 56 min against 1 h. The Bus 72 to Zeleni venac varies between 50 and 70 minutes.

Bus 72 to Zeleni venac: 04:50–00:00. Bus 600 to Beograd Centar railway station: 04:30–23:55.

From

To
Zeleni venac, the bus terminus and market square just below Terazije, 400 m from Republic Square; Brankov most and the Novi Beograd stops on the way
Luggage
An ordinary city bus with no racks; it makes 31 stops and fills with commuters at Ledine and Studentski grad.

It is free, and that is the city's decision, not a promotion. If a driver or anyone at the stop asks for money for this bus, they are not the City. The only bus from this airport that sells a ticket is the A1.

The airport says 30 to 40 minutes; the city's timetable schedules 50 to 70 — expect the longer figure. Thirty-one stops through Ledine, Studentski grad and Fontana are what separate it from the A1, not the fare.

Every 25 minutes all day, every day. The last is 00:00 and the first 04:50; the 72N covers 00:30 to 02:30 and nothing public covers 02:30 to 04:30.

Zeleni venac is the end of the line and the bottom of the center, not Republic Square itself: 400 m up the hill to Terazije, a kilometer and a half to Slavija.

It leaves from the arrivals level. The night line and the A1 use the same stop.

The free fare rests on a resolution that the City could revoke with another; the gazette shows none as of 4 September 2026, and the timetable it rests on is valid to 31 December 2026.

It goes to the station, not the center. Prokop is a railway station in a cutting below Savski venac; for Republic Square or Slavija you would still be changing.

The first free bus of the morning: 04:30, twenty minutes before the 72.

Free on the same City resolution as the 72; nobody should be selling a ticket for it.

The airport says 30 to 40 minutes; the timetable schedules 56 to the station.
