The same EUR 0.80 as the metro, and the only public transport that stops at Terminal 1 itself; from Terminal 2 the metro is faster.

Tap once per person as you board and wait for the green light; one bank card covers one passenger. Without a card the driver sells a EUR 1.00 ticket.

The timetable gives 30 minutes to General Gurko Street; the airport allows about 45 on a weekday and 35 at the weekend, and the road through Druzhba and along Tsarigradsko Shose decides.

Until 9 October 2026 the Terminal 2 stop is moved 130 m along the forecourt towards the arrivals end. Until 9 January 2027 the bus runs a diverted route between Iztok and the airport along the main carriageway of Tsarigradsko Shose.

Until 9 October 2026 the Terminal 2 stop is moved 130 m along the forecourt towards the arrivals end.
