North Macedonia transportation service and cost issues

Overview

Public transportation in North Macedonia has faced increasing scrutiny due to operational and financial difficulties. In Skopje, political accusations were leveled against Mayor Orce Georgievski, with SDSM councilor Keti Shterjova claiming the public transport enterprise JSP is in a “catastrophic state” characterized by broken buses and irregular schedules.

Following these local service issues, the Democratic Union for Integration (BDI) raised concerns regarding rising intercity transport costs. The party highlighted a 25 percent increase in ticket prices on routes such as Tetovo–Skopje, noting the financial pressure this places on students and daily commuters. BDI has called for a public explanation from competent institutions and measures to protect vulnerable travelers.
