^^Ako uzmemo statistiku Trigranita kao delimicno tacnu da kroz glavnu zel. st. trenutno prolazi dnevno 5000 putnika i zbog eventualne njihove pristrasnosti udvostrucimo tu sumu dolazimo do brojke od 10000 putnika dnevno. To je apsolutno premalo za toliki trzni centar i za isplativost jedne takve investicije. Prokop se mora graditi sa pogledom u buducnost i sa nadom u skori razvoj nasih zeleznica i dobijanje Beovoza na znacaju kao sto je to Nenad spominjao. Tada ce doci i korisnici svih tih usluga kao i opravdanost ulozenih para. Iskreno ne verujem da se Trigranit tek tako povukao iz posla. Sigurno da je zakljuceno da to sto sada stoji u dokumentaciji ne moze doneti pare i da bi izgubili da su realizovali ceo projekat.
Trigranit proved that it was a joke of a company when it gave such an answer in the interview. First of all, I must correct you because Trigranit didn't claim that 5000 passengers passed through Belgrade's current central railway station daily. Instead, Trigranit said that 4000 passengers currently passed through
Prokop station daily. Check it out if you don't believe me:
http://www.blic.co.yu/beograd.php?id=10881. Obviously, Prokop isn't going to have a huge amount of passenger traffic when it is currently primarily just a stop for the Beovoz system. The number that is actually important is the number of passengers passing through the
current main railway station in Belgrade, since it is envisioned that Prokop will take over most of its traffic once completed. However, Trigranit tried to play the public for a fool and blame the government and the tender's documentation. The tender documentation appears to be perfectly fine to me. It clearly tells them that 40000 people will pass through Prokop by
2021, since it will then be the city's main railway station, and it appears like a perfectly reasonable figure to me. It's a bit of a hyperbole, but what Trigranit was trying to do is like comparing the number of passengers passing through the main bus terminal in Belgrade and one of the GSP's bus stops. After reading that, I really wouldn't take anything they say seriously. Furthermore, I'm glad that we turned them down, after they tried to take advantage of a nation going through transition and after insulting my intelligence with their stupid lies in the media. They were just trying to save face in international business news after realizing that the city and national governments weren't going to provide them with any "special" incentives.
40000 passengers through the new central station at Prokop by 2021 seems perfectly reasonable to me. However, we cannot expect that commercial objects on the plate of Prokop will only be visited by those using the railway system. The future station and its accompanying mall will be perfectly connected by the nearby highway and the future second line of the LRT to the rest of the city, making it equally accessible and attractive to shoppers as other malls in the city. Therefore, it will be no different than the Delta City 67 or Usce Shopping malls. The features of the mall do not have to be catered only towards railway passengers because the majority of visitors will probably not be those that are passing through to the railway station. Instead, it'll be like another other place to go for the evening or weekend, where someone will want to watch a movie at the multiplex, shop at one of the boutiques in the mall, etc. I am sure that adequate parking will be built for both those that are there just for the mall and those that are using the railway station.
