BUDO Bursa Deniz OtobüsleriDue to adverse weather conditions and a severe storm in the Sea of Marmara, some ferry services operated by Bursa Sea Buses (BUDO) have been cancelled. Specifically, a total of 4 sea bus services, planned to operate reciprocally on the Bursa (Mudanya) - Istanbul (Kabataş) route, will not take place. This situation will affect the travel arrangements of passengers planning to use this route today.

- 16.45 Bursa (Mudanya) - Istanbul (Kabataş)
- 17.00 Istanbul (Kabataş) - Bursa (Mudanya)
- 19.15 Bursa (Mudanya) - Istanbul (Kabataş)

Alternatives and Recommendations for Passengers
In light of these disruptions in sea transport, it is important for passengers, especially those planning to use the Mudanya - Kabataş route, to consider alternative transportation methods. As stated in the announcement, it has been observed that some passengers, following the cancellation of BUDO services, have attempted to reach Bursa by using İDO services operating between Yenikapı and Yalova. This indicates that those traveling from Istanbul to Bursa or Bursa to Istanbul should explore road or other sea route alternatives.
To prevent passenger inconvenience, it is strongly recommended that passengers check the official announcements and updated service information of BUDO Bursa Sea Buses before traveling. It should be noted that additional cancellations or delays may occur depending on weather conditions. Furthermore, those considering alternative routes such as Yenikapı - Yalova or Pendik - Yalova should also check the service status of the respective operators.
