Changes to the Ordinance on the rules and conditions for traveling by public urban transport on the territory of the Sofia Municipality were approved, which will allow the regular sale of the transport card for one line of ground transport and metro for all passengers, with preferential tariffs for pupils, students, pensioners, and doctoral students. This proposal will come into effect on March 15, 2023, after it is voted on by the Metropolitan Municipal Council.
The committee also voted on changes to the transport ordinance to ensure the application of Resolution No. 10/25.01.2023 of the Council of Ministers regarding compensation for the prices of transport documents. The price of cards for pupils and students will be reduced, and children from 7 to 10 years of age will be allowed to travel for free on public transport. The annual card for all lines will cost BGN 180.00 for the period from 01.02.23 to 31.12.23.
A new bus line will also be introduced for transport through Manastirski livadi district, Pavlovo to the Buxton tram stop. Buses will run daily from 6.30am to 10.10pm at 16 to 18 minute intervals, and will stop at some of the main public transport stops in the areas, as well as at another 40 points for stopping, getting off and boarding according to the wishes of passengers. All transport documents can be used.
These changes will make it easier and more convenient for people to get around Sofia.
