About

Why does BL Prevoz exist?

Public transport in Banja Luka is provided by multiple operators, and information about routes, timetables, and ticket prices is often scattered across different sources or difficult to find.

BL Prevoz was created to bring that information together and make it accessible to everyone: simply, clearly, and free of charge. The platform's goal is to help every user quickly find what they need to move around the city.

From an initiative to a website

The initiative for better public transport in Banja Luka began in 2023. The BL Prevoz website has been online since 2025 as a practical continuation of that work and a place where useful public transport information can be found more easily.

The initiative also addresses concrete problems through written submissions and work with the City's municipal services department and inspection authorities. The aim is to draw attention to problems passengers face and contribute to improving the quality of public transport.

Public transport is also part of the broader topic of sustainable urban mobility. The Center for Environment in Banja Luka has worked on this topic for years through research and publications on transport, as well as by encouraging citizens to take part in decision-making.

What can you do on BL Prevoz?

An independent project

BL Prevoz is not an official website of the City of Banja Luka, any transport operator, or any institution. It is an independent, volunteer-driven platform with no commercial backing and no affiliation with any transport company or public authority.

The website is free to use and continues to be developed as part of a broader, likewise independent open data initiative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is not affiliated with government institutions, transport operators, or any organization.

Where does the information come from?

All information on the platform is gathered from:

• publicly available data and documents
• official announcements from the City of Banja Luka and transport operators
• other relevant sources, such as specialist publications, websites, and forums, after additional verification

We present information in a way that is useful for the public. We aim to keep it accurate and up to date, but we still recommend checking with operators for the latest changes.

Open data

BL Prevoz is guided by open data principles. Public transport information serves the public interest and should be freely available to everyone.

The source code of this project is publicly available, and the data shown on the site may be freely used for informational purposes. We hope this approach can encourage similar open data initiatives in our city and beyond.

Future plans

The platform will continue to develop in line with available data and the needs of its users. Plans include:

• continuously improving the information and features available on the platform
• making public transport information easier to use for tourists and first-time visitors to the city
• expanding information about other modes of transport
• showing vehicle locations in real time if the City makes GPS tracking data available through a public API
