AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE FOR JOURNEY BY BUS AND CITY

Beşli stated that the citizens who wanted to get permission from the Travel Permit Board, which was first created at the bus station on March 28, caused the density and that the Governorate distributed the authority to the district governorships, underlining that the citizens could only travel with the document obtained from the Travel Permission Rules.

HEALTH MEASURES IN THE OTOGAR VERY TIGHT

Expressing that the Travel Permit Board created at the bus terminal also directs the passengers with permit documents to buses, Beşli gave the following information:

“When the number of passengers who have travel permit reaches the number 20 that fills half of a bus, the company applies to the commission at the bus station with the permit documents. Permission is given to the bus. In addition, police, police and paramedics control the exit doors of the bus station. Our medical officers, who checked a bus yesterday, detected a fever in one of the passengers and made it referred to the hospital, the exit of the bus was allowed from now on. The system will walk this way until the pandemic ends. We recommend that our citizens get their permits before coming to the bus terminal in order not to suffer. ”

Beşli noted that due to the fact that the majority of the passengers are those who want to come to Istanbul and go to their hometown, the bus services, which reach 15-20 daily, are expected to decrease.

Beşli said, “Since the number of buses decreases a lot, passengers should also be ready for connecting services. If they cannot find a bus until the city they will go to, they need to buy a ticket to go to the nearest city, ”he said.
