We present results of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for the soft core extended bosonic Hubbard model in one dimension exhibiting the presence of supersolid phases similar to those recently found in two dimensions. We find that in one and two dimensions, the insulator-supersolid transition has dynamic critical exponent z=2 whereas the first order insulator-superfluid transition in two dimensions is replaced by a continuous transition with z=1 in one dimension. We present evidence that this transition is in the Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class and discuss the mechanism behind this difference. The simultaneous presence of two types of quasi long range order results in two soliton-like dips in the excitation spectrum.
