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.

For the springtime of her pride,
Eats the green by easy stages,
Nibbles at the root beneath
With intimidating teeth.”
