Dear Editor

Whenever I use buses going to and from Sıhhiye, they come at least 10 minutes late. On the other hand, the rainy and snowy days are close ahead and the students using the Sıhhiye buses will be subject to the direct rain and snowfall because there is no shelter at the Sıhhiye bus stop.
Also, concerning the traffic jams during rush hours, the company sends a bus to the Tunus stop at Bilkent as early as 5 p.m. I wonder why the people using the Sıhhiye buses do not deserve better treatment. I hope the administration will regulate these issues in a more fair fashion.

Editor's Note

Transportation Services Manager Sinan Çam explained that the buses from Sıhhiye or Tunus to Bilkent may be five to seven minutes late occasionally due to traffic backups. It is a problem at Sıhhiye that there isn't a covered bus stop. However, this is a municipal policy. Nonetheless, he will continue to try to convince the authorities to allow a covered bus stop there.
As for the fairness of the Tunus and Sıhhiye bus services, the only difference is that the demand for the Tunus route is nearly double that of Sıhhiye, so that on average one Tunus bus becomes full at 5:15 while a Sıhhiye bus is full at 5:32. am says that is why you think there is a difference in the way riders on each route are treated.
