Kar-İş: University Students Urged to Leave Transportation to Professionals
Fuat Topaloğlu, the President of the Turkish Cypriot Contemporary Public Vehicles Operators Association (KAR-İŞ), recently spoke out about a potential disaster that was averted thanks to quick action during a fire in a student service bus.
Topaloğlu highlighted the importance of having an emergency room in such situations, emphasizing that the disaster was prevented from escalating further. He also urged authorities to reconsider the requirement to keep the emergency exit gates accessible and properly resourced.
Expressing concern over the decision to insist on using the front doors as exits during emergencies, Topaloğlu warned that this could lead to a catastrophe if not rectified. He stressed the importance of ensuring the safety of passengers and called for immediate action to address this issue.
As President of KAR-İŞ, Topaloğlu’s statements serve as a reminder of the critical need for proper safety measures in public transportation vehicles. It is essential for authorities to prioritize passenger safety and take the necessary steps to prevent potential disasters from occurring.
