Hello! I'm from Romania and I will be in Sofia for 4 days from next Sunday.
Unfortunatelly, I don't speak Bulgarian, so please, I kindly ask you if these new trams are already on the streets, and, if the answer is yes, plase tell me on which lines? Many thanks in advance!

[AGENT 006]

Yes the new trams Pesa are already in use on line 1.
Here is the route of this line.

Line 1 connects Sofia's Central railway station with l.q. Ivan Vazov. It is a short route - half hour one way and one hour round trip.

You can buy tickets from the driver or from the ticket vending machine near the 2-nd door. The ticket costs 1 Bulgarian lev. In case you buy the ticket from the driver, you have to perforate it using the perforators mounted on the handles at the side of the doors. If you don't do it, the ticket is invalid. The tickets form the vending machine don't need to be perforated.

Enjoy your stay in Bulgaria!

... already in exploitation on line 1.

По-скоро in use / in service.

If you want to travel a bit longer it's defo more convenient to buy a day ticket (4 лв).

Thank you again!
Do you know if I can buy the day ticket from the airport?

[vesko76]

Difficult. At the airport tickets are best to buy from the small supermarket on the right side inside the Arrivals Hall, you will see the sign "Tickets" pointing to it. Beware, however, that not all ticket sellers speak English, so in doubt you could ask a local to help you - the majority of the youngsters speak freely English and are helpful.

If day cards are not available, buy a single ticket of a price of 1 Lev - 0.50 Euro, and then on the major bus stops like Pliska Hotel or Orlov Most (Eagle's bridge) buy a day card. Beware, however, that the most kiosks close at 16:00.

Feel free to ask further questions if help needed.
