Beograd je u samo nedelju dana došao od nabavke 100 novih trolejbusa do ukidanja ovog vida javnog prevoza i, po svemu sudeći, stavljanja tih linija u ruke privatnika.
The main idea of the text is the contradictory stance of Belgrade's mayor, Aleksandar Šapić, regarding trolleybuses.
He initially announced the purchase of 100 new trolleybuses, presenting it as a positive development. However, just a week later, he changed his position and expressed the intention to phase out trolleybuses in favor of electric buses, arguing that the trolleybus infrastructure hinders the city's development. This abrupt shift in stance raises questions about the city's commitment to sustainable and efficient public transportation given the growing popularity of trolleybuses in Western cities.
The text highlights the following contradictions:
* Initial announcement vs. later reversal: Šapić's initial promise of buying new trolleybuses contradicts his later decision to eliminate them.
* Local context vs. global trends: While trolleybuses are becoming increasingly popular in Western countries, Belgrade's authorities are opting to remove them despite potential benefits like reduced emissions and cost-effectiveness.
This conflicting narrative exposes a lack of clarity and potentially inconsistent planning in Belgrade's public transportation strategy.
