Abstract

Istanbul's first encounter with buses in urban transportation began in 1927. This transportation progression, which accelerated with lessons learned from the first four buses taken for trial runs, is about to reach ten thousand buses in a century. Istanbul had relied heavily on trams for public transport when buses made their first trial runs. Since the 1950s, the city tried to move away from rail systems and worked to increase public transport with planned highways and the use of rubber-wheel vehicles. Maintaining this trend in parallel with the pace of urbanization and making it sustainable is the result. In this study, the scope of the busbusiness is discussed. This study examined a large data room volume from institutional archives and feasibility studies commissioned by specialized institutions and the performance of the bus company and its impact on the city, and numerical values in the data pool were analyzed. The economic reflections of the 50-year efficiency of the bus business between 1927-1977 were evaluated from the city and company reports.
