Yücel Yılmaz, Mayor of Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality, gave good news to teachers on 24 November Teachers' Day. Teachers will now get 59 percent to 76 percent discount on buses belonging to the Metropolitan Municipality. In addition, teachers will benefit from Balbucks, OnHann Hotel and restaurants with 20 percent discount between 21-24 November.
Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality Department of Transport Planning and Rail Systems is now providing transport support to teachers following the instruction of Mayor Yücel Yılmaz. Mayor Yücel Yılmaz came together with teachers in Bandırma, Manyas, Erdek, Marmara and Gönen and gave good news for 24 November Teacher's Day. Mayor Yılmaz said, "As of 24 November Teachers' Day, we are making discounts for the travels of all our teachers. For example, a teacher travelling from Bandırma to Balıkesir was paying 130 liras. By making a 69 per cent discount on this tariff, we reduced the transportation fare to 40 liras and it will be like this from now on. By subsidising the difference as the Metropolitan Municipality, we do not cause any inconvenience to our driver tradesmen. Our teachers will ride the buses of the Metropolitan Municipality at a discount with the smart card they will receive with their identity cards. My second good news is in OnHann hotels, OnHann Restaurants and Balbucks, which belong to the Metropolitan Municipality in various parts of Balıkesir. Again, by showing their smart cards, they will benefit 20 per cent from these places, all the best,".
