Lasta Beograd (Serbian: Ласта, short form of: Saobraćajno preduzeće Lasta ad Beograd ) is one of the largest long-distance bus companies in Serbia and Southeastern Europe .
The company is part of the Europe-wide Eurolines network and serves national and international routes from its base. The logo of the largest Serbian long-distance bus company can be found in Cyrillic or Latin script.
During the largest holiday season in Serbia, Lasta was the only bus company that carried passengers with 150 buses to Gazimestan in Kosovo. With this high number of vehicles, it became the largest Lasta convoy ever seen on the road.
Lasta Beograd owns 35% of Panonijabus.
network
Lasta offers public lines within the city of Belgrade as well as intercity routes to all parts of Serbia and international routes to destinations in Europe. With around 1,000 buses and coaches, Lasta is the carrier of local transport in Belgrade, Kragujevac, Aranđelovac, etc.
In the local transport of Belgrade Lasta participates with around 300 buses in the public road traffic.
Her destinations include more than 70 destinations in 18 European countries. These are among others in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia.
The most important international connections include Belgrade-Paris, Paris-Belgrade or Belgrade-Zurich, Zurich-Belgrade. The connection to France has been in operation continuously for over 40 years and is serviced regularly.
The connection to Switzerland ( Zurich and St. Gallen ) has been in operation since 1984 and is operated 3 times a week: Saturdays, Mondays and Thursdays from Belgrade and Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays from Zurich. After a stopover in St. Gallen (entry only on the outward journey due to the ban on capotage ), it continues via Germany, Austria and Hungary to Serbia.
Depending on the ticket, passengers can get off in Subotica, Novi Sad or Belgrade. Passengers who have a ticket to Bajina Basta are asked to change to a smaller bus that will take them to their destination due to the low demand.
