Green Line
The 17 km long third line is still in early planning stages and is still debated among the official authorities and the public. Although not definitive, the initial plans are to build a line connecting Ovcha Kupel neighbourhood (in southwest Sofia) to Vasil Levski neighbourhood (in northeast Sofia), with 19 stations in total, including two transfer stations, with both of the already operational lines. According to the Municipality, they estimate the line will be put into service by 2018.
According to Bulgarian National Television, there will be a total of 16 stations, 8 of which will be overground, in the form of urban light rail. The project design contract has been awarded to the Czech company Metroprojekt Praha a.s.

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or line:
“Green how I want you green.
Green wind. Green branches.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
