ISTANBUL
Bus company officials have warned that ticket prices may rise due to high demand during the upcoming Ramadan holiday, urging travelers to book early.

With many residents planning to spend the holiday outside Istanbul, interest in ticket prices has already begun.
On the second week of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, terminals remain calm. However, officials predict a surge in demand next week, which is expected to drive ticket prices higher.
Eren Evren, a representative of a bus company, anticipates a rush in about five days as the holiday nears.
“People will travel to visit their families, and we are here to assist. Right now it’s quiet, but after Ramadan, travel will increase,” he said.
Highlighting potential price increases, Evren stated that a ticket to the western province of Edirne from Istanbul — currently priced at 450 Turkish Liras ($12), could rise to 500-550 liras.
“Booking now can save 100-200 liras. Those traveling further should also secure their tickets early to avoid additional costs of 300-400 liras,” he advised.
As the Ramadan holiday approaches, bus ticket prices continue to climb, with some routes seeing increases of 20-40 percent, rivaling airfare on certain routes and dates. While bus operators cite rising costs, passengers express frustration over the high prices.

Musa Çatkı, vice president of the Turkish Bus Operators Federation, emphasized that official price adjustments follow government regulations.
“We reduce fares by 30-40 percent when demand is low and return to standard rates when occupancy increases,” he explained.
Trump’ın yasakladığı ülkelerin listesi.
Trump Yönetimi, 43 Ülkenin Vatandaşlarına Seyahat Yasağı getirdi.
16 Mart 2025 – Eski ABD Başkanı Donald Trump’ın yeniden göreve gelmesi halinde 43 ülkenin vatandaşlarına seyahat yasağı getirmeyi planladığı iddia ediliyor. The New York Times’a atfedilen bir görsele göre, önerilen yasağın ülkeleri üç kategoriye ayırdığı belirtiliyor: kırmızı, turuncu ve sarı. Bu kategoriler, güvenlik ve göçmenlik endişelerine göre farklı seviyelerde kısıtlamalar içeriyor.
Kırmızı (Tam Seyahat Yasağı): Afganistan, Kuzey Kore, İran ve Venezuela gibi 10 ülkenin vatandaşları için tamamen giriş yasağı uygulanabilir.
Turuncu (Sıkı Vize Kısıtlamaları): Pakistan, Rusya, Myanmar ve Belarus gibi ülkelerin vatandaşları için vize politikalarının önemli ölçüde sıkılaştırılabileceği belirtiliyor.
Sarı (Endişeleri Gidermek İçin 60 Gün): Angola, Liberya, Zimbabve ve bazı Karayip ile Afrika ülkelerinin 60 gün içinde belirli kriterleri karşılamaları gerektiği, aksi takdirde kısıtlamalarla karşılaşabilecekleri ifade ediliyor.
Bu geniş çaplı seyahat yasağı iddiaları, Trump’ın başkanlığı dönemindeki benzer yasakları hatırlatıyor. Ancak, Trump’ın kampanyasından veya resmi kaynaklardan henüz bir doğrulama gelmiş değil. Eğer bu yasağın uygulanması kesinleşirse, büyük diplomatik gerilimlere yol açabileceği ve önceki dönemde olduğu gibi hukuki itirazlarla karşılaşabileceği öngörülüyor.
Eleştirmenler, böyle bir yasağın ağırlıklı olarak ekonomik olarak daha zayıf ve diplomatik etkisi sınırlı ülkelere yönelik olduğunu savunurken, destekçiler ulusal güvenlik açısından gerekli olduğunu iddia ediyor.
Bu politikanın ne ölçüde uygulanacağı belirsizliğini koruyor, ancak Trump’ın yeniden göreve gelmesi halinde göçmenlik politikalarında katı bir dönüş yapabileceğine işaret ediyor. Resmi açıklamalar geldikçe gelişmeleri paylaşmaya devam edeceğiz.
