Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Metrobus)

The Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Metrobus), also known as the 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü (Metrobus), refers to the segment of the Istanbul Metrobus system that traverses the Bosphorus Bridge (formerly known as the Boğaziçi Köprüsü and now officially named the 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü). This segment is a crucial part of the Metrobus line, providing a dedicated bus rapid transit route across the Bosphorus, connecting the European and Asian sides of Istanbul.

The Metrobus system utilizes dedicated lanes, including the lanes across the bridge, to ensure faster and more reliable transportation compared to conventional buses or cars subject to regular traffic congestion. The bridge crossing is a significant bottleneck in Istanbul's transportation network, and the Metrobus offers a vital alternative for commuters seeking to avoid traffic.

The Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Metrobus) section forms a key component of several Metrobus lines, allowing passengers to travel between various points on both sides of the city without needing to change vehicles multiple times. This contributes to a more seamless and efficient public transportation experience.

The station serving the Metrobus on the European side closest to the bridge is generally understood to be Burhaniye. The station on the Asian side is generally understood to be 15 Temmuz Şehitler Köprüsü station, though the precise naming and proximity of stations to the bridge may be debated depending on the context.

The existence of the dedicated Metrobus lane on the bridge significantly enhances the capacity and speed of public transport options across the Bosphorus Strait, serving a substantial number of daily commuters.
