Bursa public transportation service adjustments

Overview

Bursa has undergone adjustments to its public transportation network to manage passenger density and traffic congestion.

In late September 2026, Bursa Private Public Buses announced the implementation of extra services on 16 specific routes. This expansion, following a two-week assessment, involved supplementing minibus routes with buses to increase capacity and reduce waiting times, particularly for commuters and students traveling to Mudanya University.

By mid-October 2026, the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Transportation Coordination Center (UKOME) finalized the cancellation of the 17/T bus line. This decision, requested by BURULAŞ, resulted in the cessation of services for the 17/T line, though the integrated 17/D line remains operational without changes.
