Increasing competition in transportation in the Marmara Sea relieves citizens' wallet.

Osman Gazi Bridge, which is now built in the bay, has joined this competition at sea. Stating that the bridge will increase the competition in this area, İstanbullines General Manager Kemal Gündüz said, “Osman Gazi Bridge is a new player, prices may increase”. Saying that they see the opening of the bridge and such investments positively, Gündüz said, “Consumers will evaluate the 6-minute travel time and one-way price of 35 Dollars + VAT for passenger cars. The cost of crossing the bay will be around 36 TL for passenger cars by road, 50 TL for round trips by İstanbullines ferries and 120 TL for the new bridge. We think that the ferry prices can stretch up to 20% on the condition that the bridge will apply, depending on the price policy. ”Gündüz stated that they have been on the Ambarlı Bandırma line for 9 years and have been working on the Eskihisar-Tavşanlı line for 3 years, adding that they have reduced the journey from 45 minutes to 25 minutes.
