A
batch of new subway wagons, which will be used in Sofia,
arrived Monday at Port Varna Port from Port Kavkaz on the 'Vanguard'
ferry.
In
May 2011, Metropoliten EAD, the municipality-owned Sofia metro
company, assigned the delivery of 18 subway trains to the
Russian Metrowagonmash plant in a deal worth EUR 77 M, VAT excluded
and after a contested tender procedure.
Sofia's
metro has been using mobile units made by the Russian company ever
since it was launched.
After
the new trains go into operation, Bulgaria will be using a total of
112 Russian wagons.
On
Tuesday, Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova and TransportMinister
Ivaylo Moskovski will attend the launch of the new subway trains.
The
event has been scheduled for 12 noon at the "Sofia University
St. Kliment Ohridski " metro station.
