Free Public Transport in Zagreb

Post from May 2009



Croatia Travel Blog: " Zagreb authorities have just declared that public transport will be completely free in Croatia’s capital city. Zagreb has a highly efficient tram and bus system that is about to become a LOT more crowded, at least in the opinion of  transport officials. The idea is to encourage residents to leave their car at home and leave the city center free of traffic tangles and parking problems. Let’s hope so. Let’s also hope that a few more trams and buses are in the pipeline to handle the increased capacity."

由于韶山风景区是开放式景区,换乘管理后,景区内居民的出行又将如何协调?刘科表示,旅游环保车之外,韶山还将开通景区环保通勤车,为本地居民和韶山学校学生提供免费公共交通服务。环保通勤车停靠点根据居民居住出行情况设置,与景区外公交车实现无缝对接,韶山市居民凭本人身份证、工作证、学生证等有效证件一证一人免费乘坐。""
