JGSP Novi Sad (Serbian Cyrillic: ЈГСП Нови Сад; full legal name in Serbian: Јавно Градско Саобраћајно Предузеће Нови Сад, Javno Gradsko Saobraćajno Preduzeće Novi Sad) is a public transit company for the city of Novi Sad and is under the city's jurisdiction. The company conducts intercity lines for areas in Temerin, Žabalj, Sremski Karlovci, Inđija, Beočin, and Irig.

The beginnings of public transportation in Novi Sad date back to 1868, when the city authorities at the time were asked to grant permission for public passenger coaches to be used around the city. The number of public horse drawn coaches kept growing that by 1884 their activity was regulated by a statute.^[4]

With the development of the City of Novi Sad came the idea of introducing electric trams. The first tram in Novi Sad started working and servicing passengers on 30 September 1911. When Novi Sad became the center of the newly formed Danube Banovina in 1929, the population size of the city increased exponentially. In 1930, the city authorities decided to buy three buses for public transportation. Public transportation was on the rise, but with the outbreak of World War II, and the occupation, bus traffic was reduced. The interruption of tram traffic came in 1944 as a result of the Allied bombing where a power station was badly damaged. The tram service restarted on 25 May 1945.^[4]

The decision of the National Committee established the City transport company (Serbian: Градско саобраћајно предузеће, Gradsko saobraćajno preduzeće) on 3 August 1946. With the growing use of buses for public transportation, tram services were completely cancelled and demolished by 1958.^[4]

In order to ensure better conditions for the reception and dispatch of suburban and intercity passengers, the Novi Sad bus station was built and opened in December 1967, next to the Novi Sad railway station. Seventy new Volvo buses were launched in 1969 out of 110 in GSP bus lot that year.^[4]

By the decision of the City Council of Novi Sad in 1991, GSP was declared a public enterprise under the jurisdiction of the City. The workers council was abolished and a management board was formed, consisting of representatives of the city and the enterprise.^[4]

As of January 2016, JGSP Novi Sad has 259 buses in its fleet operating in urban and suburban lines, with the average bus age of 13.5 years.^[5]

According to the list of registered buses for the calendar year of 2015, JGSP Novi Sad has the following bus brands in its fleet: Volvo, Ikarbus, Solaris, Irisbus and Neobus.^[6]

All urban lines are classified under I zone of public transportation.

Suburban lines of Novi Sad have five zones (I, II, III, IV, V), and in the intercity traffic and neighboring districts exist four zones, with nine zones when including sub-zones (IIA, IIIA, IIIB, VA, VI, VII, VIII, IX).

All suburban lines depart from the bus terminals from the main Novi Sad bus station and the Novi Sad railway station, with few departures also conducted from the city center, as well as Industrial Zones North and South.

The suburban lines function according to the principle of tournaise, which means that there is no specific departure interval, but the buses run on different lines during the day (unlike the city lines which have a certain departure interval and the vehicle only runs on a specific line during the day).

As of February 2023, these are the following suburban bus lines:
