Skopje has a bus network managed by the city and operated by three companies. The oldest and largest is JSP Skopje, a public company founded in 1948. JSP lost its monopoly on public transport in 1990 and two new companies, Sloboda Prevoz and Mak Ekspres, obtained several lines. However, most of the network is still in the hands of JSP which operates 67 lines out of 80. Only 24 lines are urban, the others serving localities around the city.<ref name="transpower">{{cite web |url=http://www.transport-research.info/Upload/Documents/201203/20120321_103401_38196_City%20Implementation%20Reportx.pdf |title=City Implementation report |publisher=Transpower |year=2010 |access-date=25 October 2012 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131226045923/http://www.transport-research.info/Upload/Documents/201203/20120321_103401_38196_City%20Implementation%20Reportx.pdf |archive-date=26 December 2013}}</ref> Many of the JSP vehicles are red [[Yutong City Master]] double-decker buses built by Chinese bus manufacturer [[Yutong]] and designed to resemble the classic British [[AEC Routemaster]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/skopje-prepares-for-double-decker-busses |title=Skopje prepares for Double-Decker Buses |author=Sinisa Jakov Marusic |publisher=BalkanInsight |year=2011 |access-date=24 October 2012}}</ref>

A tram network has long been planned in Skopje and the idea was first proposed in the 1980s. The project became real in 2006 when the mayor Trifun Kostovski asked for feasibility studies. His successor Koce Trajanovski launched a call for tenders in 2010 and the first line is scheduled for 2019.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/macedonian-capital-readies-for-long-awaited-trams |title=Macedonia Capital Readies for Long-Awaited Trams |author=Sinisa Jakov Marusic |publisher=BalkanInsight |year=2012 |access-date=24 October 2012}}</ref>{{Needs update|date=March 2025}}

A new network for small buses started to operate in June 2014, not to replace but to decrease the number of big buses in the city centre.
