BG Voz (Serbian Cyrillic: БГ Воз; stylized as BG:VOZ) is a suburban rail system that serves the city of Belgrade, Serbia. Operated by the "Beogradski metro i voz" public utility company, the system connects the central parts of Belgrade to its distant suburbs. Urban trains carry passengers between the termini of Ovča, Batajnica and Resnik, while suburban ones reach towards Lazarevac in the south.

The system serves 27 stations across three primary lines supplemented by auxiliary routes. BG Voz is linked to the city's ground transport: in addition to buses, three stations - Karađorđe's Park, Vukov Spomenik and New Belgrade - are served by trams, while Belgrade Center is served by trolleybuses.

Used by some 20,000 passengers every day, BG Voz has been described as the fastest transportation mode in Belgrade, but also the least maintained. Common issues include the trains' age, irregular departures, overcrowding and poor hygienic conditions. Plans exist both to introduce new trains and construct additional lines, which are aimed to connect Makiš to Karaburma and Zemun Polje to the future National Stadium.

History

BG Voz was preceded by Beovoz, an older commuter rail system opened in 1992. At its peak in 2002, Beovoz reached Pančevo, Inđija, Valjevo, Velika Plana, Požarevac as well as Belgrade's southern suburbs. The two systems coexisted as BG Voz's Line 1 was opened in 2010, with Beovoz being gradually phased out by BG Voz's expansion. Beovoz was eventually cut to only reach Pančevo and then closed down in December 2017.

Lines

Two more lines are planned for future service as of August 2026:

Infrastructure

Stations

Lines 1, 2 & 6 serve seven stations in parallel: Ovča, Sebeš, Krnjača, Krnjača Bridge, Pančevo Bridge, Vukov Spomenik and Karađorđe's Park. From there, they split: Line 1 serves Belgrade Centre, New Belgrade, Tošin Bunar and Zemun, Altina, Zemun Polje and Kamendin before terminating at Batajnica.. In contrast, Lines 2 & 6 run south via Rakovica, Kneževac and Kijevo, before Line 2 terminates at Resnik. Auxiliary routes run between Belgrade Centre, Resnik and Zemun.

From Resnik, trains split into two segments. The western route is the only one active; it runs along Bela Reka, Barajevo, Barajevo Center, Veliki Borak, Leskovac Kolubarski, Stepojevac, Vreoci and Lazarevac to form Line 6. The inactive eastern part made up a segment of Line 5; it served Ripanj Kolonija, Ripanj, Klenje, Ripanj Tunnel, Ralja, Sopot Kosmajski, Vlaško Polje and Mladenovac.

The majority of stations are at-grade (ex. Ovča): however, New Belgrade and Tošin Bunar are elevated. Similarly, there are only two underground stations, both in the central part of Belgrade: Karađorđe's Park and Vukov Spomenik. They are linked to each other and the following stations by the Vračar and Dedinje Tunnels passing under the city. Other tunnels include the Senjak Tunnel passing under the Vojvode Putnika Boulevard and the two-kilometer-long Bežanija Tunnel running under the Arsenija Čarnojevića Boulevard.

Service

Formally, trains operate on fixed timetables that may be displayed at stations; some stations are additionally equipped with electronic screens. However, access to service information is inadequate and delays, as well as cancellations, are common. During peak intervals at weekdays, Lines 1 & 2 run every 30 minutes or better, with larger headways and fewer departures at other times, as well as during weekends and public holidays. In contrast, Line 6 sees the largest intervals; with just few daily trips, headways as long as several hours are common.

Much like almost all transit in Belgrade, BG Voz has been free to use since 2025. However, the Serbian Railways services it shares track with are not. Overall, BG Voz links to national railways on most of its stations[citation needed], including key stations of Belgrade Centre, Karađorđe's Park and Vukov Spomenik. Additionally, it links to Panvoz, a Belgrade - Pančevo rail line.

Rolling stock

As of 2023, the system is served by twelve aging ŽS series 412 electric multiple units. Produced in Riga, Lithuania in the 1980s and the 1990s, the trains are of distinct blue color and frequently defaced with graffiti.
