The Sofia
public bus system (Bulgarian: София
Автобусен транспорт) forms part of the public transport
network of Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria.
In
operation since 1935, the system presently comprises 89 routes.
The public
bus transport in Sofia developed relatively late compared to the other types of
transport in the city. The first operational line was opened on 20 April 1935.
Soon after that six more lines were opened, bringing the total network length
to 23 km.
During the
communist era, the bus fleet consisted mainly of Ikarus and Bulgarian-made
Chavdar buses. After the political changes in 1989, however, the fleet has
gradually been modernised.
