The simplest way to save is by purchasing tickets via the official Srbija Voz mobile app or website. A 5% discount is calculated instantly at checkout when paying by debit or credit card.

Tickets are issued as digital PDFs with a QR code, which conductors scan directly from your phone screen.

3. Children, Youth & Family Concessions

Serbian railways offer substantial family and young passenger discounts:

Children under 6: Travel completely free when accompanied by an adult, provided they do not occupy a separate reserved seat.
Children aged 6 to 14: Receive a 50% discount on standard ticket fares.
Youth up to 26 (K13 / SRB PLUS): Benefit from a 30% tariff discount.

4. Round-Trip & Group Travel Discounts

If you know your travel dates, always book a return ticket:

Return tickets offer an automatic 20% savings compared to two one-way tickets.
Small groups of 6 or more passengers travelling together qualify for a 30% group discount with advance reservation.

5. Important Note: 500 RSD Onboard Surcharge

Always secure your ticket prior to boarding:

If you board at a station with an operational ticket counter or kiosk and request a ticket from the conductor, an extra 500 RSD penalty fee is assessed.
On high-speed SOKO trains, boarding without a pre-booked seat reservation is strictly prohibited.
Booking via the app before walking onto the platform guarantees the cheapest fare and avoids penalties.
