Sofia
subway and tramway

Not much is known about this 8.1 km, 7 station subway which opened in 1998.  Construction had stopped for quite some time, and rumour has it that the tunnels have become havens for the homeless. Another series of curious reports refer to Roman and Byzantine ruins inside the subway. An extension is due to open in 2003.

Sofia's tramway system, built in 1901, extends 222 km. It is Bulgaria's only tramway system. It operates both on street and on private right of way.
