Second Bus Priority Lanes Workshop Held in Istanbul

Co-financed with the EU under the Sectoral Operational Programme for Transport (USOP) managed by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, under Istanbul Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) Phase II – Implementation Plan Project, the Second Bus Priority Lanes Workshop was held on 19 February 2025. The workshop aimed to enhance the efficiency and safety of Istanbul’s public transport system by sharing the selection process of bus priority lanes with stakeholders and gathering feedback on the proposed corridors.

During the workshop, technical analyses and selection criteria for identifying potential corridors for bus priority lanes across Istanbul were presented in detail. Experts and local stakeholders shared their insights on the proposed routes and engaged in discussions on the implementation processes. Participants evaluated the potential of bus lanes to reduce travel time, enhance safety, and contribute to sustainable mobility goals.

Based on stakeholder recommendations, critical factors to consider in corridor selection and the necessary steps for the effective implementation of bus priority lanes were discussed.

Efforts continue to establish bus priority lanes as part of Istanbul’s vision for a more accessible, faster, and environmentally friendly transport system.
