On Sunday, October 11, 2026, a temporary service adjustment will be implemented on the T3 Tram Line, one of Bursa's key public transport routes, due to infrastructure works to be carried out by BUSKİ. As part of this adjustment, the section of the line between Çınarönü and Gökdere will remain closed for the entire day, and tram services will only operate between the Gökdere and Zafer stops. Passengers are kindly requested to take this information into account when reviewing their travel plans and considering alternative transportation options.
The infrastructure renewal works, undertaken by the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Water and Sewerage Administration (BUSKİ), aim to strengthen the city's transportation infrastructure and provide more uninterrupted services in the future. While such works may cause short-term disruptions, they ultimately aim to improve the quality of urban life in the long run. It is particularly important for passengers traveling on the weekend to consider such adjustments, similar to ferry and sea bus services on other special days in 2026.
Affected Route and Service Information
Throughout Sunday, October 11, 2026, the section between Çınarönü and Gökdere on the T3 Tram Line will be completely closed to operation. This will directly affect passengers planning to travel between these stops. Tram service will only be provided between the Gökdere and Zafer stops for the entire day. Therefore, passengers coming from or wishing to go towards Çınarönü may need to alight at Gökdere stop or arrive at Gökdere stop using different modes of transport to make a transfer.
Important Recommendations for Passengers
- Check Your Travel Plans: All passengers considering using the T3 Tram Line on Sunday, October 11, 2026, are advised to confirm the current status via official announcements and research alternative routes before their journey.
- Alternative Transportation Options: For the affected route, you may consider alternative public transport vehicles such as buses or dolmuşes (shared taxis), or using private vehicles. You can also consider other transportation options as part of your general travel plans, such as BUDO Bursa Sea Buses, which are part of Bursa's public transport network.
- Depart Early: Due to potential congestion and transfer times, it will be beneficial to set off earlier than usual to reach your destination on time.
- Information Sources: It is recommended to follow the official websites and social media accounts of BUSKİ and Bursa Ulaşım A.Ş. to access the most up-to-date and accurate information.
It should be remembered that this temporary adjustment is an important step towards improving Bursa's transportation infrastructure. Passengers making intercity connections with ferry services should also consider that such changes in the urban transportation network may affect their overall travel times. For example, those planning to travel from Bursa to Yalova or the Islands should calculate their travel times to transfer points taking these adjustments into account.
