Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu outlined the scope of services provided to disabled passengers on railways. Since 2017, approximately 9 million disabled passengers have been transported free of charge on railways. The program aims to facilitate access to transportation for disabled citizens. The free service application is being evaluated as a successful social inclusion model.
The free travel scheme for disabled passengers at Turkish State Railways has reached 9 million users since 2017. Transport Minister Uraloğlu emphasised that the programme is widely used among disabled citizens and serves social inclusion.
The financial burden of train travel has been completely removed for disabled individuals and their relatives; this means significant monthly budget savings, particularly for intercity journeys. As the programme will continue, disabled passengers can rely on this facility for their planned journeys.
