FIRST METRO DIAMETER (LINE 1)
“Lyulin RD – Centre – Mladost RD – Druzhba RD – Sofia Airport” will be 32 km long with 26 stations.
SECOND METRO DIAMETER (LINE 2)

THIRD METRO DIAMETER (LINE 3)
"Ovcha Kupel RD - Centre - V. Levski RD" will be 21 km long with 21 stations.

The diameters intersect into a triangle in the city center, thus each section of the metro route could be reached within one single interchange of the line.
