Just some minutes later and after criss crossing Sofia we change bus at the companies‘ parking, located close to a residential area within the city. Here we store all our luggage in the trunk of a Mercedes Sprinter bus. All those (dis-)embarkments and regroupings of us – the passengers – on occasions like this, turn out to be quite useful for conversations. Simply, getting to know more about the fellow travelers‘ routines, rhythms and...

Arrival in Sofia early in the morning! One woman is picked up with her incredible amount of luggage. Mostly presents for and orders by relatives and friends – as she mentions. All the others including me get back in the bus, after having nice conversations and coffee in front of the snack...

Focal aspects for „Stop and Go“ are various modes of transportation and rhythms. We decided also to make use of our trips and therefore travel by different means of transportation.

The new station and the real large estate development around it replaced the former „Südbahnhof“. The bus is operated by the Bulgarian based company „Karat S“ and associated with famous „Eurolines“ coach operator.
