Providing information about the application, Ünsal Ünal, the Electronic Fare Collection System Officer of the Transportation Department, Public Transport Directorate, said that although the subscription application is a very new system, approximately 2 million users have been used so far. Stating that until recently, the application was only valid for domestic lines, Ünal said that with the regulation, students using multi-scheduled lines and paying 3 TL will now travel for 1 TL on their short-distance journeys.

In summary, all students traveling short distances by using a subscription card can board our buses for 3 TL, which they used to board for 1 TL before.

The student named Zehra Ortak, who said that she was very satisfied with the new application, said, “I am very satisfied with the application. We are printing it now because it is your subscription, it draws 1 lira directly. It also contributes to our family economy. My family gives me 100 liras per month for transportation. I load 60 lira of it on my card, 40 lira is left to me,” he said.
