Solution in public transportation
Mayor Aziz Kocaoglu continued his words as follows:
“We are also trying to increase sea transportation. We started an expedition to Urla, but there are no passengers. The important thing is to increase the voyages in the inner bay. For this, Karantina and Mavişehir are ideal spots for ferry voyages. These will happen when the permit processes are completed. We opened new roads in many districts. We built Captain İbrahim Hakkı Street and Adnan Kahveci Bridge Junction. Bayraklı and Bornova districts directly connected to Altınyol. After the Konak tunnels, we expropriated on Homeros Boulevard and opened the way. Now we will extend this line 2.5 kilometers with double tunnels and viaducts to the Bus Station. This road will gather Konak, Buca and the whole region .. You can either go to Ankara, Istanbul or Aydın. But as the number of private vehicles increases so much, you cannot completely solve the traffic by building roads and widening the road. So the real solution is to encourage public transport. "
