The transportation solutions of the future are shaped not only by big projects, but also by your daily choices. There are things each of us can do to make Istanbul a cleaner, safer and more livable city. We need to take action, knowing that small steps can make a big difference.

Discover the Power of Walking

Even just walking for a few minutes can have a big impact. Choose to walk to work, short distances to the grocery store or to a friend. Your steps will not only protect your health, but also reduce the number of cars in traffic and air pollution. Exploring the streets of Istanbul will allow you to get to know the city anew and see it in a different light.

Reimagine Cycling as a Means of Transportation

Cycling is not just a sport, it’s a means of transportation. Bike to work, school or meetings using Istanbul’s new bike lanes. Cycling is one of the best ways to bypass traffic and feel freedom without harming the environment. When you start cycling, you will start your own personal transportation revolution.

Rethink Public Transportation

Taking a bus or metro makes a difference not only for your own comfort, but for millions of people living in the city. When you choose public transportation, you reduce the number of cars on the street, alleviate traffic and contribute to Istanbul’s clean air goals. It may be crowded, it may be tiring sometimes, but with public transportation you are not just going from one place to another, you are part of a movement.

Sharing Changes Everything

We may not all have a car, but that shouldn’t limit us. By carpooling or ridesharing, you can help the environment and reduce travel costs. Sharing a ride with someone going the same route is one of the easiest ways to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

Electric Vehicles: The Future is in Your Hands

If you are thinking of changing your car, consider electric vehicles as a serious option. Electric vehicles greatly reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and air pollution. It is one of the ways to leave a cleaner city, not only for yourself, but for your children and their future.

Big Transformations of Small Routinesi

Every morning before you leave the house, ask yourself: Can I make a more sustainable transportation choice today? Try using a different mode of transport to get to work each day – sometimes public transport, sometimes cycling, sometimes walking. One small decision can make all the difference in an ordinary day.

Stronger Together

You don’t have to take big steps alone. Encourage your neighbors, friends and family to consider sustainable transportation solutions. A small community can make a big difference. Organize a bike tour in your neighborhood or invite your friends for a walk. Together, we can make Istanbul a greener and more livable city.

You have the voice

You are a part of this change. You decide which steps to take, but make sure you start somewhere. Remember that sustainable transportation is not just an option, it is a necessity that we take towards the future. Every step, every choice you make is a part of this great journey.
