It was initially thought of as a bluff, but we said we were serious. We said, 'We cannot leave this transportation to anyone's monopoly. We started this business through BURULAŞ.

“We want Bursa to be the breathing center of 13 million Istanbul. We are waiting for the citizens of Istanbul to Uludağ, historical places and various events. Now, the job falls to the tourism professionals. We created 24-hour and 48-hour cards. There will be no extra charge for urban transportation. We just realized that we are a coastal city. We did our part. Its development is up to you.
These ships were bought with your taxes and they are Bursa's own property. We are calling our friends from Istanbul, now it's your turn to support. Today we will depart for the inaugural expedition. We are making our first scheduled flight tomorrow. In line with the demands of our citizens, we can increase the number of ships and tariffs.”
