The Sofia metro as a very rapidly developing mean of transport plans to carry more than one million passengers a day at the final stage of its implementation. This effort will be soon supported by modern, state-of-the art metro units in four car configuration from Škoda Group, which will enter service in 2026 and will run on lines 1,2, and 4. In the Bulgarian capital, the metro also runs partly on the surface, to which the vehicle design is adapted.
Given the warm climate of the region, the new vehicles will be equipped with efficient air conditioning, ensuring high comfort of transportation even during the warm summer months. In order to ensure accessibility to all passenger groups, the unit is equipped with priority seats, places dedicated to people with limited mobility and baby carriages. Smooth exchange of passengers is secured by 4 double leaf doors in each car side and levelling of the boarding edge to platform through secondary suspension.
