With the Eid holiday extending to 9 days, citizens making holiday plans had great difficulty in finding seats on buses and planes to go to their hometowns. The transportation crisis led citizens to alternative methods and there was an explosion in demand for ride-sharing applications.
Ticket Problems in Transportation Vehicles
Many citizens who did not make early reservations had difficulty finding bus and plane tickets on Eve and the days before. Despite the high prices, tickets were sold out. While flights from Istanbul to metropolitan cities and popular destinations were filling up days in advance, additional flights of bus and airline companies were also filled due to high demand.
Ride Sharing Apps Are in Demand
Citizens who could not find a seat on buses and planes began to look for a solution in shared travel applications. Thanks to intercity shared ride applications, those who want to travel with car owners can easily come together. Especially those who wanted to go to metropolitan cities from Istanbul turned to these applications and made their travels.
Economical and Reliable Travel Options
One of the reasons why ride sharing is preferred is that it is economical. The increase in bus and plane ticket prices during the holidays causes citizens to look for more cost-effective alternatives. Shared rides offer an economical solution for drivers and passengers, sharing travel costs and providing a reliable journey.
