The ban on motorcycles and similar two-wheeled vehicles from entering traffic due to adverse weather conditions in Istanbul is also affecting motorcycle courier services on Thursday, October 15. According to the decision by the Istanbul Governor's Office, the implementation went into effect as of 9:00 PM on Wednesday, October 14.
Because the decision also covers motorcycle couriers, those who deliver by motorcycle cannot enter traffic as long as the ban remains in place. For this reason, delivery times for food and grocery orders across Istanbul are expected to be delayed, or the delivery option may be disabled in some areas.
HOW IS THE DELIVERY STATUS CHANGING?
The ban does not mean that all food and grocery orders in the city are automatically canceled. Businesses that operate using cars or other delivery methods can continue to provide service. However, whether an order will be accepted depends on the delivery area and the business's operating procedures.
Users should check the current delivery status on the relevant applications before placing an order. If delivery to an address appears unavailable or the estimated delivery time is longer than usual, it may be linked to the motorcycle courier ban and weather conditions.
The Istanbul Governor's Office has not announced a specific time for when the ban on motorcycles and similar two-wheeled vehicles will end. The announcement stated that the decision would remain in effect "until further notice." A new statement from the Governor's Office is expected for the lifting of the implementation.
