Sofia’s Public Transportation Expands with New Trolleybus and Bus Lines in Lyulin and Other Districts

Sofia, Bulgaria, is set to undergo significant changes to its ground transportation network with the introduction of new trolleybus and bus lines, as well as modifications to existing routes. These improvements, proposed by the Metropolitan Municipality, aim to enhance connectivity and accessibility for residents across the city, particularly in areas like Lyulin and Mladost.

Lyulin District to Benefit from New Trolleybus Service

The Lyulin district, a large residential complex in the western outskirts of Sofia, will be a key focus of the expansion. New trolleybus lines are planned for this area, providing residents with an environmentally friendly and efficient transportation option. Lyulin, established in 1971, is divided into 11 microdistricts and is known for being a popular, though sometimes troubled, residential area. Source
