Istanbul Bans Private Public Buses for Expeditions: Latest Update
Private Public Bus Operators Threaten to Stop Services Due to Payment Delays
Millions of people rely on private public bus operators for their daily transportation needs, but recent challenges have pushed these operators to their limits. Despite facing economic fluctuations, fuel price hikes, and rising costs, private public bus operators continue to play a crucial role in keeping the city moving.
However, a recent statement from the operators highlighted the issue of payment delays from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, stating that delays of up to 3 to 4 months have become unbearable. The operators feel that this is a violation of their rights and puts significant strain on their ability to operate effectively.
In response to the lack of dialogue and support from the municipality, the operators have warned that they may be forced to stop their services in the coming days. They cite the inability to afford fuel and pay their drivers’ salaries as major obstacles to providing a sustainable transportation service.
The potential halt of private public buses in Istanbul could have a significant impact on the daily lives of millions of residents. The operators are calling for immediate action to address the payment delays and ensure the continuity of their services.否
