Residents of Bulgaria’s capital city have enjoyed a free panoramic tour with a retro tram on the occasion of the 122nd anniversary of public transport in Sofia. The youngest passengers received fairytale coloring books as a gift.
"Sofia was among the first European cities with modern public transport. The capital city is still among the leaders in this area," said Sofia Deputy Mayor for Finance, Healthcare and Transport Doncho Barbalov. The history of public transport in Sofia dates back to the end of the 19th century, when the horse-drawn omnibus, known to people in Sofia as the “tram”, was introduced.
