context_section_description: The first tram line was introduced in 1892. The current extent of the network track has been unchanged since 1988, though with some re-routings of the tram lines. Trams and trolleys are operated exclusively by GSP Beograd, and there are 11 regular tram lines and 7 regular trolleybus lines.
  Belgrade has 11 current trams (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14). Tram line 2 (dva) is a circular line around the downtown, so often downtown is referred to as krug dvojke (the circle of line 2).
  Tram Lines:
  2 – Pristаnište – Vukov spomenik – Pristаnište
  3 – Kneževаc – Slavija – Omladinski stadion
  5 – Kаlemegdаn (Donji grad) – Ustаničkа
  6 – Tаšmаjdаn – Ustаničkа
  7 – Ustаničkа – Block 45 (New Belgrade)
  9 – Banjica – Block 45 (New Belgrade)
  10 – Kalemegdan (Donji grad) – Banjica
  11 – Kalemegdan (Donji grad) – Block 45 (New Belgrade)
  12 – Bаnovo brdo – Omlаdinski stаdion
  13 – Banovo brdo – Block 45 (New Belgrade)
  14 – Ustanička – Banjica
  Tram network and termini:
  All the revenue service track is constructed as parallel double track with terminal loops. 
  There are 8 revenue service loops in the system: Kneževac, Omladinski stadion, Kalemegdan, Ustanička, Tašmajdan, Block 45, Banjica, Banovo brdo. 
  There are further 9 auxiliary loops: Pristanište, Slavija, Autokomanda, Trošarina, Radio industrija, Gospodarska mehana, Topčider, Railway station, Rakovica. Only the first three are actively used for cutting short during the schedule disruptions. The loops Slavija and Autokomanda are located in roundabouts and are normally used for the revenue thru-traffic. Other auxiliary loops are used only as alternatives during the closures. The last two loops (Rakovica and Railway Station) are defunct. The track at Rakovica is disconnected from the main line. The loop at Railway station was recently reconstructed but is completely out of use due to unworkable design. The circular line 2 does not use loops at its terminus at Pristanište. It makes the service stops on the main line instead.
  Tram depots:
  There are 3 tram depots in Belgrade. Sava is the central active service depot built in New Belgrade in 1988. Dorćol ("Lower depot") is the historical electrical cars depot from 1894 which is used only for auxiliary and overhaul purposes. It is co-located with the active service trolleybus depot. The two single-track lines leading to it are the only exceptions to otherwise parallel double track network in the system and are not used in the revenue service. The third "Upper depot" is the historical horse-drawn cars depot from 1892. It retains its track but was recently disconnected from the main line. The depot is completely void of trams and is now housing only the overhead wiring maintenance unit. The plans to adapt it into the public transportation museum have never materialised.
  Trolley Lines:
  The first trolleybus line was introduced in 1947 to replace trams on the central corridor Kalemegdan-Slavija. The network extent is unchanged since late 1980s, though with minor relocation of the central terminus from Kalemegdan to Studentski trg in late 1990s. Belgrade has 7 current trolleybuses (19, 21, 22, 28, 29, 40 and 41).
  19 – Studentski trg – Konjаrnik
  21 – Studentski trg – Učiteljsko nаselje
  22 – Studentski trg – Kruševаčkа
  28 – Studentski trg – Zvezdara
  29 – Studentski trg – Medаković 3
  40 – Zvezdara – Bаnjicа 2
  41 – Studentski trg – Bаnjicа 2
  Trolley network and termini:
  There are 4 revenue service terminal loops in the system: Studentski trg, Konjarnik, Banjica 2, Medaković 3. The peripheral termini Učiteljsko naselje, Kruševačka and Zvezdara have no purpose-built loops: the trolleybuses are circling around the city block instead.
  Additionally, there are 3 auxiliary loops in the system: Slavija, Crveni krst and Banjica 1. The auxiliary loops are actively used for cutting short during the schedule disruptions (the line number carries the suffix "L" on the departures to be cut short). Crveni krst and Banjica 1 can be used only in the direction towards the peripheral termini, Slavija can be used in both directions.
