“ESHOT is an institution that has been the leading actor since the first half of the 1940s in the process of public transportation that commenced with horse-drawn trams in İzmir. It has a powerful memory and an established culture. There is the goal of ‘always being better’ at the core of this culture, besides pioneering and innovativeness. Actions such as the production of buses for the first time in Turkey, the first transition to the electronic wage system, the establishment of the first electric bus fleet, the implementation of the first SPP construct by a public transportation company; They are the most tangible samples of the culture I am talking about. We will continue to be a pioneer and innovative in providing public transportation services that satisfy the needs of the age and satisfy the needs of the city at the maximum scale. We are proud to greet UITP members, who are aware of this aspect of us, in our city and to contribute to their work.”
