Two new stops are opened on line N 2.

The ticket costs 2 leva and can be bought with cash from the driver of the vehicle. On night buses, only the annual card for all public transport lines, a 24-hour or 72-hour subscription are valid. All other types of travel cards (monthly, youth, student, etc.) are not valid. An option to pay for the trip is to top up the Sofia city card or the Sofia city card Ultralight in advance; or pay with a physical or virtual bank card by validating it on the bus.

The initiative to restore night transport in Sofia belongs to municipal councilor Boris Bonev from "Spasi Sofia", who together with Simeon Stavrev from "Democratic Bulgaria" and Zafir Zarkov from GERB-SDS submitted a report to the municipal committee on transport on July 27. The proposal was for them to start after September 15, but the mayor Yordanka Fandakova now ordered that they start from November 1.
