Kadıköy Square Pedestrianization Project and Traffic and Public Transport Regulations

Within the framework of the Kadıköy Square Pedestrianization Project, it is aimed to reduce the bus density in Kadıköy Pier and ease the traffic flow. With the new arrangement, the routes of 13 lines serving the dock will be rearranged so that the last stop will be Uzunçayır Platforms, and in this context, the UK coded Uzunçayır–Kadıköy line will be put into service. With the regulation made; Two-way free bus-to-bus integration will be provided between 13 lines and the UK line. Thus, while passengers' access to Kadıköy will continue uninterrupted, platform capacity will be used more effectively. It was reported that within the scope of the new regulation, a total of 26 lines, 286 vehicles and 2,461 daily flights will be withdrawn from the Kadıköy Dock Platform Area and Kadıköy. Thus, it is aimed to reduce bus traffic in the region, increase pedestrian mobility and make the square arrangement more effective. With the completion of the project, it is aimed to create larger pedestrian areas in Kadıköy Square and its surroundings.
