Metrobuses are one of the most practical means of transportation for Istanbulites. Millions of passengers prefer metrobus every day. Handicaps are not absent. The biggest is "crowded". The metrobus system is also being discussed as a system that receives more demand than the capacity. Experts state that no matter how much improvement is made, it is difficult to look for "comfort" in the metrobus during rush hours unless alternative modes of transport are developed.
Recently, these long vehicles have started to attract attention with accidents. The snowfall that started in Istanbul yesterday evening caused the schools to be vacationed. Then came the news of the metrobus accident this morning.
Another metrobus coming from behind hit the metrobus waiting at the stop in Merter. 8 passengers were injured in the accident. Long queues occurred on the metrobus road. For a while, flights to Avcılar direction could not be made. Some passengers walked down the metrobus road.
Why are these vehicles going on a straight, straight path in succession? Do you have problems with the road due to overuse, driver carelessness, or excessive speed?
ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY HIGH VEHICLES
Last year, there were 15 major accidents involving the metrobus and involving injuries or property damage. 9 of the accidents occurred due to other vehicles entering the metrobus road. The reason for a few of the accidents is the out of control of the metrobus and driver errors. Another event that causes material damage is that the metrobus in motion suddenly catches fire and becomes completely unusable by burning.
IETT plans to implement the larda black box ile project, which is used in aircraft related to the accidents experienced in metrobust. This black box aims to reduce the number of accidents and increase passenger comfort by increasing road safety.

We always write and draw. No one, no reaction, even if there are no measures. FACTS: (1) The METROBUS cannot handle this burden, alternatives should be considered in advance, in due time, necessary measures should be taken, investments should be planned and made.
(2) A metal curtain should be placed between two Metrobus (arrival / departure) lines, but at certain defined points, the line should be changed. In this way, mutual collisions will be minimized.
(3) highway and Metrobus road, between the New-Jersey type concrete barrier should be absolutely separated. With this measure, the risk of accident by entering the road vehicles of metrobus line is minimized and reduced.
(4) On-road metrobus collisions (rear-to-front) can only be reduced or avoided by providing more frequent break-in time, reducing driver training, attention-driven modern systems and driving time.
An example: if a survey is conducted in our country, it is seen that most of the collision accidents are on the straight road except for flying accidents. The most obvious example from Europe is the Autoput accidents in the former Yugoslavia. Autoput was a much narrower area than the highway, but the parts like the twine were constantly crashed. The unpredictable fatigue effect of the straight road, the distraction, the monotonous road drowsiness isi these factors are acute accident sources. Due to the lack of vehicle guidance, the metrobus road is the ideal environment for crash drivers.
So everything in theory, the project is not thought as honey, kaymak. It is imperative that we learn what others' experiences and apply + evaluate.
