At this point, transportation services and policy are of special importance. Transportation is the service area that touches human life the most among urban services. The transportation sector is also very important in terms of the economy of the cities. Transportation policies no longer only represent a person going from one place to another, they shape the cities. That's why we care about cycling transportation. ”

We want to expand the bicycle network in Ankara to public transportation much more.

The construction of the 1st phase of the Bicycle Road Project is already beneficial to all of Ankara. ”
