As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 27th of January, 2020, on May the 31st, 2020, after almost thirteen years of waiting, Zagreb’s residents and visiting tourists will finally be able to sit in a cable car in Gračani and reach Sljeme, the summit of Medvednica, in just sixteen minutes. Just how much could a ticket for the Sljeme cable car cost?
According to as yet unofficial information, the local Zagreb portal Zagrebancija has published ”speculation that the return ticket for the Sljeme cable car will cost fifty kuna.”
The aforementioned portal also sought comments from various citizens, many of whom consider that price too expensive.
“I think that’s too much. Firstly, the cost of constructing the Sljeme cable car is too expensive, and now, in addition to subsidising the construction, residents of Zagreb should also pay for an expensive ticket. I think the price should be the same as it is for a tram because if the goal is to reduce car traffic to Sljeme and increase the number of visitors, then the price of the Sljeme cable car ticket should be popular and not one that will do the opposite of motivate people to come up,” commented one Zagreb citizen.
“In my opinion, this is too high a price considering how much the citizens of the City of Zagreb allocate for tax and surtax itself, and the very standard in Croatia itself. I think that about ten kuna would be more acceptable for every pocket,” added another Zagreb resident.
“I think that’s a lot, thirt kuna would be just about right,” said the third resident, who agrees with others who deem fifty kuna to be too high of a price for the future Sljeme cable car tickets.
”Fifty kuna is a little too much. It should be a maximum of twenty five to thirty kuna.”
“That’s too much, thirty kuna would be fine because it would be used then, and fifty kuna is too much for many people.”
“We all fund it, so fifty kuna is too much. It should be twenty kuna. ”
The cost of the old Sljeme cable car ride was eleven kuna in one direction, and the most similar cable car to the new one is in Zagreb’s Pohorje, where the return ride costs six euros, but that price is reduced for children, students and pensioners. On the other hand, a ride on the Sarajevo cable car to Trebevic costs twenty Bosnian convertible marks, or eighty kuna.
