Bursa, Mudanya — Marmara · 4 active ferry routes
Mudanya Pier is the main terminal for BUDO sea buses on the Bursa side. Bus connections to the Bursa city center are available. It is located near the historic Mudanya Armistice House Museum and coastal restaurants.
As one of the most critical maritime transport hubs in the Marmara Region, Mudanya Pier is a main artery for passenger traffic between Bursa and Istanbul. Operated by BUDO (Bursa Sea Buses), a subsidiary of Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, this terminal enables thousands of passengers to cross between continents and cities every day. Serving as the maritime gateway to Bursa—a city of industry, history, and tourism—the pier is not just a transit hub but a living space intertwined with Mudanya's historical charm.
In the past, travel between Istanbul and Bursa typically involved long road trips or transfers via Yalova. With the modernization of Mudanya Pier and the launch of BUDO services, travel times have been significantly reduced. Today, with voyage durations averaging between 1 hour 30 minutes and 1 hour 50 minutes, passengers can cross the Sea of Marmara comfortably without getting stuck in traffic. In line with the sea bus concept, the pier focuses exclusively on foot passenger transport; vehicle ferry services are not available.

Mudanya Pier is located right in the heart of Mudanya, Bursa's coastal district, along the Mudanya Coast (Kordon). Situated at coordinates 40.3756000°N latitude and 28.8825000°E longitude, the terminal stands out with its waterfront location and surrounding social amenities. The moment you step out of the pier, you are greeted by the scent of the sea, historic waterfront mansions, and walking paths stretching along the coastline.
The terminal building is designed to ensure fast and safe passenger circulation. The arrival and departure lounges are independent of each other. The waiting lounge, which maximizes natural daylight through its large glass facades, offers a spacious environment for passengers. The large square right in front of the pier is organized as a waiting and departure point for urban public transport vehicles (buses and minibuses). This integrated structure makes the transition from sea travel to land travel seamless.
Serving as BUDO's main operational center, Mudanya Pier provides direct connections to strategic points on both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. While additional voyages are scheduled to meet the increased passenger demand during the summer timetable (May-September), departure times and frequencies are updated for the winter timetable (October-April).
