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:
“May they turn sour. May many mean things
happen upon them, no shepherds, no dogs,
a blight of the skin, a mange of the wool,
and they will die eating foreign money,
choking on its green alphabet.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible. Make that decision primarily for yourself because you can never really live anyone else’s life not even your child’s. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you become yourself.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
