Trains are cheaper than buses but slower, and sometimes the carriages are in pretty bad condition.
There are good bus services in the main towns, with tramways and trolleybuses in Belgrade. Multi-journey tickets are available and are sold in advance through tobacconists. The passenger punches the ticket in a machine on board. Serbia is dominated by the flat, fertile farmland of the Danube and Tisza valleys. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and the national capital.
