The youth card is intended for people studying or working up to 26 years of age. The annual card for young people costs BGN 250 and is for an unlimited number of trips on the entire transport network of the city. For the first time, an annual card is also available for pupils and students. It costs BGN 200 and also applies to all public transport. Charging is done once against a document from a school or university in Sofia if the student enters the relevant educational institution for the first time. Students or pupil cardholders do not need to present a certificate.
