New buses, trolley buses and trams in Sofia

New 126 buses, 50 trolleys and 20 trams will serve the public transport in Sofia by the beginning of next year.

Their price is a total of 50 million BGN, as the money for them coming from the operational program "environment".

Due to the fact that the money are coming from European funding, the ticket for public transport will remain at its current price, commented on Sofia's deputy mayor of transport Lyubomir Hristov.

The new trolley buses will replace almost entirely the old ones. They are air conditioned and have a low and flat floor.

Part of trolley buses, were renovated a few years ago when at the streets of Sofia have emerged the new modern "Skoda Solaris ".

The new 126 bus will have a gas engine that will provide less air pollution and fuel savings. Their numbers will be sufficient to replace almost 1/3 of the capital's bus park.

Unfortunately the update for trams is running at a slower pace, as the new 20 machines represent only 1/10 of the park, the vast majority of which is quite depreciated.

From Sofia Municipality underlined that it is running a project for the purchase of new trains for the metro. They will be used in areas that are currently under construction.
