For the third day in a row, Sofia will remain without ground public transport, the Center for Urban Mobility announced on its Facebook page. After a several-hour meeting with the capital's mayor Vasil Terziev, representatives of the Confederation of Bulgarian Trade Unions and the Confederation of Trade Unions "Pokrepa" did not reach an agreement on an increase in the salaries of those employed in public transport.

At the same time, BTA quotes the chairman of the Federation of Transport Workers at the Confederation of Trade Unions "Podkrepa" Ivan Kirilov, who told journalists that the decision on whether the effective strike should continue tomorrow will be made tonight at a meeting "with all workers and employees who are currently at the depots". According to him, it is the strikers who will decide whether the ground public transport will be stopped on Friday as well.

The Sofia subway will certainly operate tomorrow, it became clear from a position to the media of "Metropolitan" EAD.
