What to know about Transit in Bulgaria

Bulgaria has separate urban ticket systems, so no single transit app covers the country.

Best Transit apps in Bulgaria (2026)

Sofia2Go app icon

Sofia2Go

Sofia's official 2026 app for City Card products, route planning, schedules and travel history.

Pro tip: Short-stay visitors can usually tap a contactless bank card instead. Use Sofia2Go for a specific pass and confirm it appears before boarding.

MPass app icon

MPass

Sells digital public-transport products for Sofia and Plovdiv through a registered account.

Pro tip: Check that the ticket or pass appears after payment. Recent reviews report failed issuance and QR scanning, so keep a physical fallback.

TTickets Varna app icon

TTickets Varna

Varna's new official app for mobile tickets, trip planning, live arrivals and service alerts.

Pro tip: It launched in June 2026. Keep the official operator site and on-board or stop ticket machines as backups while the new system matures.

Transport Burgas app icon

Transport Burgas

The Burgas city app for real-time schedules, routes and the purchase of tickets or passes.

Pro tip: Use it only for Burgas urban transport. Check the exact operator for buses to Nessebar, Sozopol or Varna because those can be intercity services.

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.
