Public buses in Sofia
The Sofia public bus system () forms part of the public transport network of Sofia, the capital city of Bulgaria. In operation since 1935, the system presently comprises 98 routes. History
The public bus transport in Sofia developed relatively late compared to the other types of transport in the city. The first operational line was opened on 20 April 1935. Soon after that six more lines were opened, bringing the total network length to 23 km. During the communist era, the bus fleet consisted mainly of Ikarus and Bulgarian-made Chavdar buses. After the political changes in 1989, however, the fleet has gradually been modernised. Lines

A night bus service was launched in Sofia by Sofia Urban Mobility Center on an experimental basis from 7 April 2018 until 31 December 2018. Tickets for the night bus could be obtained solely from conductors on the bus, and not from the driver, machines or other public transport ticket sale points. Tickets for the night bus cost 2 leva compared to the daytime price of 1.60 leva. Knyaz Alexander Square was chosen as the site of a transfer location where all night bus lines met and passengers could switch lines. Four routes were included and operated from 00:20 until 04:20 at intervals of 40 mins:
 N1: Lyulin 1 – Mladost 4, operated by Malashevtsi garage
 N2: Obelya – Students' Town, operated by Malashevtsi garage
 N3: Ovcha Kupel 2 – Iztok Bus Station, operated by Zemlyane garage
 N4: Gotse Delchev – Druzhba 2, operated by Druzhba garage

The night bus service was closed due to COVID-19 and has not been opened since then. As of February 2023, the service isn't running and the last bus for most lines is between 23:30 and 00:00. Fleet
