As in all the world were also taken many measures to prevent the corona virus spreading in Turkey. In the additional circular sent to the governorships, the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the passenger buses would accept 50 percent of their capacity. However, there are those who endanger the public’s health by not following these measures.
NO PLACE TO TAKE STEP ON THE BUS
Bus number 62, which made the Gultepe-Kabataş flight in Istanbul, allegedly moved later to carry more passengers, despite the 06.15 departure time. In the images taken one stop before the Levent metro station by a passenger, it is seen that the social distance is not maintained against the epidemic of corona virus in the bus where tens of passengers are clogged.
THE DRIVER WAS NO MASKING GLOVES
Saying that there is a security guard in a hotel, he took these images when he got on the bus to go to work in the morning, the passenger stated that they went from Harmantepe station to Levent to get on this bus. The passenger who shoots the images said, “We came this way from Harmantepe to Levent. While it should normally arrive at 6.15, it arrived at 6.30. Wherever you look, it’s been like this for a week. The driver also did not have a mask or a glove to protect him. ”
