Special Car for Cyclists on the Metro

Metro Istanbul came up with an innovation that will increase mobility in the city. Passengers who want to travel by bicycle on rail systems will be able to use the last cars of the trains at specified times.
Metro Istanbul, one of the affiliates of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), made a regulation regarding the use of bicycles in vehicles in order to prevent the negative effects of the hours spent in the traffic that affect the health of the city and the citizens by reducing the number of vehicles in the traffic.
With this practice, which is expected to increase the use of bicycles by Istanbulites, it will be possible to prevent environmental pollution by both providing faster and more sustainable transportation opportunities and reducing carbon emissions.

Healthy life, healthy cities...
As of September 16, residents of Istanbul will be able to travel with their foldable bicycles all day long, and with their non-folding bicycles on the last car of the trains with no extra cost, except the peak hours which is between 07:00 to 09:00 and 17:00 to 20:00.
The regulation aims to support sustainable urban mobility by increasing the use of bicycles with an intermodal approach in urban transportation. The application also aims to encourage a healthier and zero-emission life.

Other passengers were also considered...
The company, which transports more than 2 million passengers a day, has determined the rules of traveling by bicycle in order to offer more comfortable and safe transportation to its passengers, not only considering the cyclists, but also other passengers as well. Thanks to the rules introduced for the cyclists, other passengers will be able to travel safely without being adversely affected.
