Belgrade's public transport system is facing a wave of citizen complaints, with a record 340 reports filed in just three days concerning non-functional air conditioning. The "Zajedno na put" (Together on the Road) portal has become the primary channel for citizens to voice their discomfort during the ongoing heatwave.
The sheer volume of complaints underscores a significant public demand for adequate cooling in public transport. As temperatures soar, the lack of working air conditioning in buses and trams is creating an uncomfortable and potentially unhealthy environment for commuters.
This surge in reports indicates a clear dissatisfaction with the current state of public transport services. The "Zajedno na put" initiative aims to collect citizen feedback to pressure authorities into addressing these pressing issues, ensuring a more comfortable and reliable commuting experience for Belgrade's residents.
