Busovača had a train station on the Lašva – Donji Vakuf – Gornji Vakuf / Jajce railway since 1893 . The railway with a Bosnian gauge of 760 mm ran on individual sections with a gear drive . The narrow-gauge trains or their locomotives were affectionately called "Ćiro" in the Yugoslav vernacular. In 1975 the narrow-gauge railway was stopped and the tracks dismantled.
