Just wanted to add some info to this really useful post.

I contacted JSP asking some questions, as listed below

– Bus 25 is passing from Плоштад Македонија to Sredno Vodno

– Tickets are not sold on the bus to the driver.
You can shop at JSP kiosks, non-personalized „Skopska“, (150 den) and have 2 gratis rides.

– JSP does not have kiosks on international airport and there is no bus line from airport to the city.

– Bus 60 passes from Пошта 1, Boulevard VMRO to Matka Canyon

Hmmm, you are right, I can’t see it either. I can’t find any notification on the website that it’s not running though, and I can still see 60 listed in the timetable information here (type 60 into the search box) http://www.jsp.com.mk/VozenRed.aspx If you do find out it’s not running, please let me know.

Anyone knows if route 60 is still running?

I cannot find it on the Google Maps bus stop (after I zoom, as suggested in this post).

In reply to Josie Kelsh. Thanks for all the information! I found it also quite confusing and complicated to use public transport in Skopje. There is an app called Moovit which was very helpful finding the closest bus station to my hotel/location and the exact route of all busses. I highly recommend it!

We went yesterday to Matka canyon by bus and believe that some fraud is going on there. The bus dropped us off directly at the entrance and there was a handwritten sign in latin letters telling autobis, very different from the other bus signs, as we found out later. A group of tourist was waiting for the bus to return us to Skopje and the redtaurants owners close by would not talk to us, when we ased, whether the bus would come to this place. About 20 min after the expected arrival time, out of nowhere half a dozen emty cabs arrived, most of them illegals with rather aggressive drivers that explained us that the bus stop was 500 m down the valley. We went there and again were approached by these drivers, which later, when we finally decided to walk to the number 12 bus stop in the next village, passed us at 10 cm distance. So do not wait, where you are dropped off!
