It was seen that the stops built within the scope of the Trolley Project implemented by Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality were not suitable for disabled individuals and parents using baby strollers. The municipality was asked to prevent this victimization before the project became operational. Authorities took action immediately.
The trolleybus era has begun in Şanlıurfa to facilitate transportation. As part of the project carried out by the Metropolitan Municipality, road expansion work and stops were made. The stops were a disappointment for disabled citizens and parents using baby strollers. It was seen that the toll booths were not suitable for wheelchairs and baby strollers.
The situation, which was met with backlash on social media, was met with a demand that the authorities make arrangements before the project was put into service. Following the backlash, the contractor company took action immediately. It was learned that there was an existing disabled passage, but it was removed when a 85 cm passage was made instead of an 30 cm one, and disabled passages will be rebuilt at all 15 stations.
The trolleybus project with a line length of 7 kilometers that we plan to do in Şanlıurfa will operate on the Balıklıgöl Line numbered 63. The system, which will provide service with vehicles with a capacity of 200 people, has been designed for a total passenger capacity of 34 thousand, considering that it will serve 500 thousand 2030 passengers per day according to current data and 61 thousand passengers per day in 75.
