Public transportation will transition to a single card system starting from the new year.

The new announcement about the Turkey Card application, which will provide transportation across Turkey with a single card, came from the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Abdulkadir Uraloğlu. In this context, up-to-date information about the Turkey Card has become a matter of curiosity. Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu stated, "We will launch the Turkey Card in 18 provinces in 2025."

HOW WILL THE TURKEY CARD WORK?

The Turkey Card offers a system that allows users to easily meet their payment needs in daily life, such as money transfers, shopping, and transportation. In this context, a single payment system has been created that allows all kinds of financial transactions to be made with a single card and can be used on public transportation vehicles in all cities.

WHERE TO GET THE TURKEY CARD?

You can apply for the Turkey Card at all PTT branches across Turkey, or through the Turkey Card Mobile Application or the Turkey Card Website.

TURKEY CARD IS USED IN PILOT CITIES

Recalling that the Turkey Card, which will consolidate public transportation cards in 81 provinces into a single card, has been launched in pilot cities such as Konya, Kayseri, Gümüşhane, Yozgat, and Istanbul on the Gayrettepe-Istanbul Airport Metro Line, Uraloğlu stated, "By the end of 2024, we will increase the number of provinces included in the system to 18. We are continuing our efforts in Ankara with Başkentray, in İzmir with İZBAN, as well as in Rize, Kocaeli, Aksaray, Tokat, Karabük, Uşak, Kahramanmaraş, Nevşehir, Kilis, Çorum, and Gaziantep. Citizens who want to obtain a Turkey Card can apply at PTT offices. We are offering this project, which will provide convenience in transportation for our citizens, at a nominal fee. Citizens who want to obtain a Turkey Card from PTT offices will pay a symbolic amount of 40 lira for the Unbranded Turkey Card, and 60 lira for Debit and Prepaid cards," he stated.
