Fast Train scared bus companies

High Speed ​​Train scared bus companies: High Speed ​​Train, which will download Ankara to Istanbul between 3 hours, scared bus companies. Some bus companies will either withdraw from the line or reduce their flights. YHT will also affect flight passengers.

While the countdown for the High-Speed ​​Train (YHT) line, which will be lowered between Ankara and Istanbul to 3 hours, started to be concerned. It is stated that many bus companies that carry passengers at prices of 45-60 lira will either reduce or withdraw their flights with YHT, which will serve 70-80 liras. It is calculated that a part of the passengers will prefer the high speed train.

Bus companies, numbering 20, make hundreds of trips a day between Istanbul and Ankara. It is stated that as a result of the YHT being put into service, the customer will prefer the 6-hour fast train instead of a 3-hour bus ride. The low price difference between YHT and bus and the discounted application of some trips on YHT also make the railway advantageous.
