What to know about Transit in Bulgaria

Bulgaria has separate urban ticket systems, so no single transit app covers the country. In Sofia, the simplest short-stay method is usually a contactless Visa, Mastercard or supported mobile wallet at the validator. Tap on every vehicle or metro entry, use the same physical card or the same wallet token all day, and use a separate payment medium for each passenger. Sofia2Go is the official 2026 app for Sofia City Card products, schedules, routing and travel history. It is useful for a longer stay or a specific pass, but its early iOS reviews report account and wallet-integration problems, so a bank card remains the lower-friction visitor choice. MPass sells digital transport products for Sofia and Plovdiv. Its current store reviews include failed issuance and QR-scanning complaints, so confirm that a valid ticket appears before boarding and keep another payment option. Varna launched TTickets Varna in June 2026 for tickets, trip planning and live arrivals. It is new, so keep the official operator site and ticket machines as backups. Transport Burgas provides Burgas tickets, passes, routing and real-time schedules. These apps do not cover intercity buses. A route shown in Google Maps is not a ticket, and the fare medium in Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas or another municipality may differ by operator and vehicle. Check the local operator immediately before travel, validate exactly as instructed, keep the ticket visible offline and allow extra time for a final connection.
