A special cleaning work has been initiated in İzmir to combat viruses at public stations.

In addition to routine cleaning activities in the subway, tram and buses in İzmir, disinfection against viruses and bacteria has also been initiated. Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Environmental Protection and Control Branch Directorate firstly sprayed after the cleaning works in the 182 vehicle fleet consisting of 38 metro vehicles and 220 tram vehicles.
