The pilot project will be implemented throughout 2024.
Retirees and individuals aged 65 and older can obtain the right to free transportation based on the smart card of HŽ Passenger Transport and a purchased profile at a cost of 2.65 euros.
To qualify for the profile, a retiree must present a pension receipt from HZMO and an identification document, while an individual aged 65 and older needs to provide an identification document.
Retirees and individuals aged 65 and older with a smart card of HŽ Passenger Transport should purchase a profile for free travel at the ticket office for a price of 2.65 euros, valid until the end of 2024.
New users of free transportation need to fill out an application for the creation of a smart card, which can be obtained at the ticket office or on the HŽ website.

Applications for the creation of a smart card will be accepted starting from December 18, 2023.
