Istanbul Metrobus

From the archives, a few photos of Istanbul's 'Metrobus' from 2010...

  • Segregated lanes in the median
  • Light rail type infrastructure
  • Off bus ticketing
  • Ticket gates
  • Separate boarding and alighting
  • Undetermined frequency: at least once a minute
  • Platforms capable of handling three or for vehicles
  • Four axle Mercedes CapaCity vehicles
  • Later joined by some bi-articulated APTS Phileas (the APTS Phileas website now leads to a Chinese on-line betting site, a sure clue the project has now been given up)
