At a meeting with the protesters, the capital's mayor, Vasil Terziev, promised a 15% pay rise for public transport workers from 1 March. Negotiations will continue and options will be sought for further pay rises this year. The capital's public transport workers will remain on protest alert until they receive their first pay rise.
