All articles from the "Finance" section — public transport news and analysis on busevi.rs.
Money is what ultimately decides how many buses reach the street. This section follows the budgets of city operators, tenders for vehicles and infrastructure, debts to suppliers, subsidies and ticket prices.

Articles rely on official announcements and documents, and figures are given with the date they refer to, because the picture here changes from quarter to quarter.
