The most commonly used public transportation vehicle in Istanbul, the Metrobus line, has come to a complete stop. Citizens who left home in the morning to go to work have been affected. In a statement from IETT, it was said, "The disruption on our Metrobus line has been resolved. Our relevant unit is intervening in the traffic that has formed along the route and the congestion at the stops."
Citizens who left home in the morning to go to work using the Metrobüs, the most preferred public transportation vehicle in Istanbul, experienced a nightmare. Due to the rain, there was heavy congestion on the Metrobüs from the morning hours. A breakdown in one vehicle caused crowds to accumulate at the stops, and the queue extended for meters.
STATEMENT FROM IETT
The Metrobüs line has completely stopped. In a statement made by IETT regarding the issue, it was said, "Traffic may occur due to the disruption on the Metrobüs route, and our relevant units are intervening."
REACTIONS FROM CITIZENS
Citizens expressing their outrage over the situation on social media used the following statements:
- "I don't understand if you are mocking people. I have an exam, and despite leaving 3 hours early, I can't make it to the 9 o'clock exam. Should we leave at 4 or 5? We struggle to get on and then suffocate while trying to move with vehicles that can barely go 2 steps. It's like a joke!"
- "All your buses operate until the Metrobüs. The Metrobüs is not working either. 98S1/S2... We are fed up."
- "We have been waiting for the Metrobüs in Sefaköy for 30 minutes."
- "As if the crowd at the Metrobüs stop wasn't enough, a completely full Metrobüs broke down."
DISRUPTION RESOLVED
In the latest statement made by IETT, it was reported that the disruption has been resolved. The statement included the following remarks: "The disruption on our Metrobüs line has been resolved. Our relevant unit is intervening in the traffic that has occurred on the route and the congestion at the stops."
