Having difficulty in meeting the need for wagons on Bursaray's current lines and the Kestel line that will be put into operation in the coming months from the international market, BURULAŞ has turned to used vehicles. We spoke to BURULAŞ General Manager Levent Fidansoy the other day. We had previously heard that the company was looking for second-hand wagons in European cities. It turns out that Fidansoy had also just returned from abroad with his feet covered for this purpose. We wanted to ask the General Manager while we could catch up with him to learn first-hand.
BURULAŞ General Manager Fidansoy confirmed the vehicle search and purchase business. He announced that they agreed to purchase 24 second-hand wagons directly from Germany, directly from a municipality, from a city business. Fidansoy is keeping secret which German city the vehicles will come from and their brand. However, we hear that Bombardier's second-hand vehicles will be brought to Bursa. Fidansoy said that they purchased each of the used wagons they obtained without using an intermediary for 45 thousand Euros and that they are in a very advantageous position.
Former tram wagons used in Incirli previously purchased from 40 thousand euros, indicating that Fidansoy, each of the vehicles they agreed on a matter of two months will come to Bursa records.
Fidansoy pointed out the need for vehicles in the system, hat We need urgent need of the car before the Kestel line is activated. It is not possible for us to provide this immediately in terms of zero vehicles. So we turned to the second hand, Bu he says.
Meanwhile, each of the rail vehicles to be taken from Germany is said to have traveled 2,5 million kilometers. Considering that the 10 cars used in the system for the 1 year in Bursa have reached 250 million kilometers with the 1,5 million 50 bin, it is understood that the used vehicles from Germany are quite old and old. XNUMX is known to have an annual service life of the rail vehicles, this is not a problem with care. While the works on wagon production are accelerating in Bursa, such intermediate purchases are sometimes needed to meet the immediate needs.
It is known that the Metropolitan Municipality encouraged two bus manufacturers in Bursa on the production of wagons.
Prohibition of sculpture on the bus
BURULAŞ, who took over from the Metropolitan Municipality for the 10 year of the rail system with the public transportation of rubber-wheeled (private-public) public transportation vehicles in the previous day, has become the sole boss of the urban transportation.
This decision was completely abolished at the Directorate of Bus Operations, and the Director was given to the Teleferik. BURULAŞ is the only authorized person to transfer the 3 of the net income to the Metropolitan.
Atatürk Avenue, where 300 buses depart daily, will take a big breath with this decision. The majority of the buses will operate as feeder lines to Acemler, Merinos, Arabayatağı metro stations and Stadium and Kent Meydanı tram lines. Thus, the number of daily buses passing through Atatürk Avenue will be reduced to 350. Planning studies in this direction are also ongoing before the T1 line.
