Turkey intercity bus transport upgrades

Overview

In July 2026, Turkish municipalities completed a major renovation of the Karabük intercity bus terminal, adding air‑conditioning, upgraded restrooms, expanded parking and commercial space, while Bursa confirmed the continuation of a lane‑closure scheme aimed at smoother traffic around its terminal.

A week later, the government expanded airport connectivity by launching direct Havaist shuttles from Istanbul’s two main airports to the western coastal towns of Ayvalık and Edremit, and by replacing Bursa’s former BBBUS airport shuttle with an updated city‑bus line that uses contactless payment and serves key city stops. Both phases illustrate a coordinated effort to modernize intercity bus facilities and streamline airport access in Turkey.

The developments reflect a broader push to improve public‑transport infrastructure, accommodate rising passenger numbers and fulfill election‑period promises on transport services.
