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.
