Due to heavy snowfall, blizzards, and the risk of icing affecting Trabzon and Van, busing services for students have been suspended in a total of 8 districts. The decisions were announced by the district governorships, taking into account potential disruptions to transportation.
In Van, busing services will not operate in the districts of Çaldıran, Muradiye, Tuşba, İpekyolu, Gürpınar, and Erciş on Monday, November 9, 2026. It was reported that the decision in these districts is for one day.
The Çaldıran District Governorship announced that the decision was made in line with the assessments of the Regional Directorate of Meteorology. The ongoing snowfall, blizzards, and the risk of icing were cited as reasons in the statements.
In Trabzon, busing services will be suspended in the Tonya and Şalpazarı districts on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. It was stated that the snowfall, which is effective in the higher parts of the city, could negatively affect transportation.
