Thessaloniki to get new transit map in December

A new transit map for Thessaloniki will come into force on December 1, a day after the opening of the city's new metro system.

The updated plan includes modifications to 11 bus routes, the addition of a new line from Thessaloniki Airport and adjustments to certain terminal stops, aimed at decongesting the city center and enhancing passenger service.

Chaos at Istanbul metrobus stop as hundreds congest in early rush hour

The temporary closure of a metrobus stop in Istanbul's Zeytinburnu district led to chaotic congestion at the nearby Merter metrobus stop during the rush hours on Nov. 8. 

The human congestion forced some to queue for up to 20 minutes just to reach an overpass at the Merter stop, while others said it took them around 45 minutes to cross the overpass.
