Classes and comfort
Soko has two classes. Both offer air conditioning, comfortable seats and USB chargers; the higher class adds wider seating and a quieter cabin. For the short hop to Novi Sad it is a matter of comfort, for the ride to Subotica many find it worth the difference.
Tickets and reservations: the one rule that matters
Seat reservation on Soko is mandatory and ticket numbers are capped by seat capacity. Popular departures sell out, sometimes a day or two in advance. Buy online at srbvoz.rs or at a ticket office, and do not leave it to the last minute if you travel on Friday, Sunday or before holidays.
Tips from practice
- Be on the platform at least 10 minutes early, Soko does not linger at stations.
- If your departure is sold out, check Regio trains: slower, but no reservation needed. More in the Belgrade - Novi Sad guide.
- Before leaving for the station, check vozovi.rs for passenger-reported delays.
