Public transport cost and service issues in Turkey

Overview

Public transportation in Turkey has faced increasing criticism regarding rising costs and service quality. In Gaziantep, officials noted that ticket price increases for both full and student fares exceeded the annual inflation rate reported by TÜİK.

In Van, commuters expressed dissatisfaction with service standards, citing hygiene issues, overcrowding, and drivers failing to follow traffic rules. Following initial complaints, Van experienced a second round of price hikes within the same year, with inter-district travel rates increasing by approximately 20 percent for routes serving districts such as Bahçesaray, Erciş, and Çatak.
