ESHOT, the public transport provider for İzmir, has implemented several operational and technological updates. In September 2026, the agency announced temporary route changes for the 316 No’lu Beşyol – Evka 3 Metro line due to road repairs in the Bornova Beşyol neighborhood, resulting in the temporary closure of four bus stops. During this period, the agency also introduced new ergonomic driver uniforms designed for comfort, safety, and visibility.

By October 2026, the focus shifted toward technological integration. ESHOT implemented an artificial intelligence system using CAN bus infrastructure to collect real-time telemetry, such as engine performance and braking data. This AI-powered system identifies risky driving behaviors, including speeding and harsh cornering, to facilitate targeted driver training programs aimed at improving safety, passenger comfort, and energy efficiency.
