The Center for Urban Mobility joined the campaign to distribute water in Sofia because of the dangerously high temperatures. According to the executive director Dimitar Dilchev, the campaign was successful and people are using the water provided to them.

1,500 bottles of water are planned for each day and the campaign covers central city areas.

"From March 1, ticket punchers are a thing of the past in Sofia, as is the paper ticket," Dimitar Dilchev, director of the Center for Urban Mobility, told BNT.
