Abstract: The stable improvement of the quality and social efficiency of urban passenger transport systems is unthinkable without the implementa­tion of Intelligent Transport Systems. The ben­efits of adopting such systems are indisputable. The world’s major metropolises use this tech­nology to successfully develop their transport systems and provide integrated and improved systems with the purpose of ensuring high qual­ity service for their customers. Intelligent Transport Systems offer more infor­mation to their customers and all interested par­ties, provide users with faster, more accessible, more secure and high-quality transport services, cleaner air, larger coordination and cooperation. Their adoption makes cities more independent and more economically competitive. All of this raises the ever-growing need for the so-called “intelligently organized” public decisions which are simultaneously effective and stable and can generate economic prosperity and social welfare. Our country lags in the use of IT technology in comparison to other European countries; nev­ertheless, it should be acknowledged that the first few projects of this type have already been realized and some of these systems are already running. Adopting an entire integrated and co­ordinated Intelligent Transport System will coor­dinate the fulfillment of city of Sofia’s need for Security, Mobility and Stability.
