Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Alinur Aktaş stated that 1 million public transportation vehicles are used daily in Bursa. Noting that approximately 2.5 million Bursboards are used in the city and that more than 85 thousand filling operations are carried out daily, Mayor Aktaş stated that 68% of the office density is due to visa procedures. Emphasizing that 65 percent of the call center calls are related to the bus route, Mayor Aktaş said, “As the Metropolitan Municipality, we have implemented our software that will facilitate the transportation operations of our citizens. Thanks to the application that can be obtained from IOS and Android markets, residents of Bursa will now be able to handle transactions such as checking their balance, online filling, online visa, contactless QR single ticket, contactless NFC single ticket, where and how to go to the bus, and questioning the bus times, "he said.
Problems come to an end with mobile solution
Stating that online card refills with the mobile application are loaded on the card after 15 minutes at the latest and in this way, public transportation can be easily used everywhere without calling a dealer, President Aktaş said, “For our passengers to see how much balance they have on Bursboards or to make their transactions easily without going to a dealer, It was passed ”he said. Noting that student, teacher or full monthly-annual visa procedures can be performed with mobile software, Mayor Aktaş said, “All visa procedures for which documents are not required have become possible without going to the office. While getting on the bus, 'Is there any balance in my card or not?' The question of asking for a card from someone else in the vehicle is now over. With the new technology, we can see the balance of our card by entering the 14 characters on the right back of the card into the mobile application. While waiting at the stop, we can find out where the vehicle is and how soon it will arrive without calling the call center 'directly from the application'. The answer to how to go anywhere in Bursa by using public transportation is on Burs Board mobile. 'How can I go?' With the function, just write where you will go. Burs Board mobile shows you where and how to go in the fastest and most economical way, ”he said.

Stating that citizens can 'access the list in the software' and find out the line with the shortest transportation time for them, Mayor Aktaş said, “One-pass QR code ticket received from POS devices or the application can be switched either as a receipt or by showing it to the QR reader on the phone. At the same time, our citizens will be able to gift the boarding pass by sending the received QR code to 'friends, acquaintances and relatives'. It is a system that allows citizens with NFC technology to receive the NFC ticket from the phone, by having the validator scan the phone. Version 2.0 also includes monthly subscription, student-teacher subscription loading, photographic personalized card application and follow-up, Burbak parking lot occupancy rates and navigation, and English language support.
