- Monitor Official Announcements: Before your trip, always check the official websites, mobile applications, or social media accounts of İDO and BUDO.
- Consider Alternative Routes: Instead of canceled sea services, you can consider road transportation or other ferry lines (such as Yenikapı - Yalova or Pendik - Yalova).
