Description
The project consists of an extension of the metro line (7.2 km long) to the international Airport and the construction of the first sections of the second metro line connecting the Railway station and the city centre (4 km long). In addition the project foresees the improvement of the urban landscape and rehabilitation of boulevards in Sofia.
Objectifs
The project objectives are the development and modernisation of the public transport in Sofia and it will contribute to improving the quality of service to users and maintaining the attractiveness of public transport. In Sofia's local urban environment, which already shows a high level of traffic congestion, this should act as a sustainable alternative against a further shift from public to individual transport and thus improve the quality of the urban environment.

Aspects environnementaux
The project will develop underground transport and allow a reduction of energy consumption. It should therefore result in a reduction in greenhouse gases and contribute globally to mitigating against climate change. Overall the project should contribute to the improvement of the urban environment.
