The measure comes after 8 people perished in a hellish crash early on Wednesday. A bus, travelling from the capital Sofia to the Black Sea city of Burgas overturned on Trakiya highway, near the second largest city of Plovdiv, killing 8 and injuring 18.
The inspections include checking each bus's documentation, technical condition and time schedule and will take around 10-15 minutes, an official has told the Dnevnik daily.
