Further extension across the Danube, towards Krnjača and Ovča in 2016, was financed from the RZD International credit. The total travel time between the first and the last stop is 50 minutes. At peak times, trains run every 15 minutes.[3] That line currently contains 13 stations (corresponding to Srbija voz Line 55[4] and Belgrade public transport Line 100[5]):
