Thus, the bus, which takes half an hour to the station, will arrive every 15 minutes. Both the new courthouse and our new Gemlik State Hospital were engaged in the past months. Now, we have established a total of 1 new bus lines, 3 to the courthouse and 4 to the new Gemlik State Hospital. All of them will depart from Gemlik Square. It is a line between Gemlik and Bursa where our citizens suffer from the fullness of buses. We have largely resolved this problem. Between Gemlik Bursa, 12-meter vehicles were running and there was a commission model for the sub-operator and per passenger. We switched to "go-to-tour", ie go-to-go, model instead of per passenger. Thus, our tradesmen were encouraged to make more tours. The number of flights between Gemlik Bursa increased. Our shopkeepers will not fill the vehicles to the obstruction since the payment will decrease when the average of 35 passengers in the 42-seat vehicle passes, our passengers started to travel more comfortably, sitting and comfortable. ”

With this 5.4 km line, our citizens can easily go to the hospital by metro from every part of the city. In addition, our road works continue for easy access to the hospital. We have completed the 6,5 km stage of this 3 km road. Expropriations for the remaining part are about to end. Only expropriations amount to 25 million TL.
