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.

Three buses a night and then nothing. Miss the 02:30 and the next public departure is the 600 at 04:30 (to the station) or the 72 at 04:50; the A1 is away until 06:45.

It is the only free service that goes all the way to Republic Square; by day the 72 stops at Zeleni venac below it.

Forty-five minutes on the timetable, through Novi Beograd's night stops rather than the 72's daytime loop through Ledine.

Free on the same City resolution as the day bus. Nobody should be selling a ticket for it.
