On 26-th August line 3 of the metro in Sofia started

From Krasno Selo to Hadzhi Dimitar – this is the route along which the new line 3 of the metro started. It was put into operation on 26 August.

"The third stage of the metro provides connectivity from the airport to the stations and bus stations, which will allow a very fast spillover of passenger flows between different modes of transport". This was stated by the Minister of Transport, Information Technologies and Communications Rossen Jeliazkov, who together with the Mayor of Sofia Yordanka Fandakova and the Director of the Sofia Metro Stoyan Bratoev, inaugurated a section of the third line of the metro.

The section is 8 km long and includes 8 metro stations and passengers will travel the distance for about 15 minutes.
