Great is a direct true friend. At least for me. Then, of course, I felt all the delights of the fact that in 50-70 percent of Turkey’s buses with a large one is not allowed … large buses are transported only on the muzzle of buses.
but not all buses have attachments on the face.
If the bus is not equipped. the driver does not start up. says wait with a bus with ATTACHMENTS.
went to the suburbs 30 km from the city. So the bus goes there through the stop every 20 minutes.
I had to wait an hour for a bus with attachments.
the first two arrived without attachments.
on some routes with hinged 50%. by some and 30 percent maybe …
the principle itself is certainly stupid. half-empty bus in the cabin of the place dofig. but you can’t go to the salon. here everything is according to the law. those. it is impossible to agree. even buses never stop outside of stops.
The advantage of Turkey is that it is POSSIBLE to use the train and metro with a bicycle. In Moscow, this is unlikely to work. Also in the Banlio system (the so-called electric trains, they were taken from the French), suburban trains (In Ankara Bashkentrai, Istanbul Marmaray, Izmir Izmir Banlio, etc.) you do not need to pay 50% of the ticket price for a bicycle. On Russian Railways trains, you have to pay for a bicycle and usually it is equal to 50% of the ticket price. Well, conventionally, you pay more for a person.
Between cities, if it’s not a highway (bicycles are not allowed there), a 70% safe gyrosurface for road bikes. Most of it is not designated as a bike path, but its width allows you to ride comfortably. The tactfulness of the drivers.
It is convenient to bike to the suburbs and to the beach.
Inside cities, due to the fact that the sidewalks are narrow and the roads are generally narrow, cycling is more problematic. However, there are large and well-known cycling routes along them it is a pleasure to ride. They do not connect all areas of cities.
Also in Turkey, a project of the European Commission for the development of bicycle infrastructure, Euro bicycle routes is being implemented. The EU is funding 50-50 new bike paths. Therefore, you can “complain” about the shortcomings to the EU authorities, if you think that the Euro-bike routes are made poorly.
Transportation of bicycles. It can be expensive to take a bike from Russia by plane. Turkish low-cost airline Pegasus charges $ 50 for bicycle transportation. Therefore, I recommend buying a bike in Turkey.
Cycling is cheaper here than in Russia. You can watch the Turkish and Russian Decathlon sites, for example. A similar model in Turkey will cost 20-30 percent less than in Russia. For example Decathlon. Because Turkey and the EU enter into a single customs space (like the EurAsEC) and bicycles from France and Portugal in Turkey are not subject to entry duties and taxes.
Second, you can get VAT tax free back for buying a bicycle in Turkey at the airport. This is about 18%.
The result. Unambiguously cycling and trips in Turkey can and should be recommended.
Bicycles can be transported free of charge in trains, metro and buses with attachments in Turkey. because there is no such thing as luggage.
