Dear passengers;

With the pandemic process, the transportation sector has been going through the most difficult days in its history for about 15 months.. Our industry, whose wheels never stop, 365 days, 24 hours, could not organize a trip for 4 months in total this year.. With the decrease in intercity mobility due to reasons such as pandemic conditions and travel restrictions, the loss of passengers in our sector reached 70%.

While the main expense items of the transportation sector are constantly increasing; We tried not to reflect these costs on our ticket prices by considering our passengers.. However, with the circular published on 16 May within the scope of pandemic measures, the capacity of intercity buses was limited to 50% between 17 May-01 June.. In this situation, where we were able to put 20 of the 40 seats on our buses into service, the cost per seat doubled.. For this reason, it was inevitable to increase ticket prices in order to cover some of the cost and continue on the road.. We have done everything we can to keep this increase to a minimum by forcing all our conditions.. Together with our thousands of employees, we continue to work with all our strength by taking every necessary health measure and without compromising our quality.. We thank you, our passengers, for your understanding and support during this difficult process.
