In Turkey we have bus system and normally we use these busses. In Kocaeli we have different busses which are going to every place in Kocaeli but in certain times. The busses starts at 06:00am and ends at 24:00 in the center but if you have to go to a far district the busses ends earlier than normal times. Also you can use sea busses cuz Kocaeli is a Bay City and many of the districts are accross the Marmara Sea. If you want to go to İstanbul there are bus companies like “Efe Tour” and they have tours to every city in country. Also you can use the fast trains to go to Ankara and close cities to Kocaeli. The biggest bus station for city busses is “Halkevi” it has a big road crossing bridge and every bus passes this station in their ordinary laps.
