Rome Metro

Germany's public broadcaster ZDF has hailed Thessaloniki's newly inaugurated metro as "one of the most beautiful in the world."

The Thessaloniki Metro is now a reality and has been handed over to the citizens, who had been eagerly awaiting it…

After the inauguration ceremony, which took place earlier at the impressive Pylea Depot, the metro opened its doors to welcome the public.

The unveiling of the Thessaloniki Metro is entering the final stretch with the 13 state-of-the-art stations included in the project’s main line.

Free metro tickets for Rome residents in exchange for plastic bottles. This is part of the plan to make the city more environmentally friendly.

The construction of the first stage of the third line of the subway in the section between Patriarch Evtimiy Blvd. - NPC - Krasno Selo will be completed by the end of October.

The metro and part of the ground transport in the capital will work on New Year's Eve night, reported the Bulgarian National Television.  Night bus lines will also be available to citizens, but some of their routes will be changed.

Detailed information on the working lines of public transport can be found on the website of the Center for Urban Mobility.

Bulgaria's capital Sofia will get EUR 400 M from the EU Operational Programme Transport and Transport Infrastructure 2014-2020 for the extension of the metro lines, said Transport Minister Ivaylo Moskovski, quoted by the ministry press office.
