On 28 January 2018, Sofia metro celebrates 20 years since the commissioning of the first section between the “Slivnitsa” and “Konstantin Velichkov” stations. On this day in 1998, the first metro train of the Sofia underground railway started on its route along 6.4 km and 5 metro stations. The construction of the first 5 stations started in 1979, when the first dig for Vardar station was made.

20 years after the historical first journey of a metro train along the newly built section of 6.4 km from Lyulin residential area to Konstantin Velichkov Blvd., the Sofia metro network now extends for 40 km.
