Contractors have already been selected for the first stage of the project that involves the construction of 7.8 km of underground railway and eight stations, most of them in the central parts of Sofia. At present, Sofia Metro network is 39 km long with 34 stations.

The estimated carriage capacity of the line is over 170 thousand passengers a day, besides it makes intermodal connections with the main entrance roads of the city, with the national railway network in Gorna Banya RD and the first and the second metro line.
