you are right, but most Bulgarians would never admit that things are improving.
Maybe it's a good thing, but too much complaining can get you out of the real world very easily.
Sofia is cleaner, drivers are much, much more polite than they were 20 years a go - hell 5 years a go, while cars have multiplied.

Read the full comment Cars are much nicer and newer, and don't all belong to mutras, as before, but to many ordinary people.
And yes, buses are newer and yes cleaner.
Perspective is important.
Public transport today is light years ahead of the nasty buses and trams that i rode on when I first visited Sofia nearly 20 years ago.
While there is still plenty of room for improvement, the simple fact is that Sofia is NEVER going to become Zurich so expectations have to stay within reason.
Animals in the UK have better transport than people in BG so keep complaining.
Little by little things are changing.
... who's that guy? he seems happy to be riding the bus;)
