Pointing out that public transport facilities and the problems in this area directly affect the quality of life in Istanbul, Avdagiç announced the support they provide as ITO for the preparation of the public transport law. Stating that they believe this law is a major necessity for Istanbul, Avdagiç emphasized that they will offer all the support they can for the implementation of a regulation that will make a significant contribution to increasing public transportation and quality of life.
