Hitching out

Towards Izmir, Çanakkale:

Take the Bursaray metro to Küçük Sanayi and walk around until you find a suitable place to hitch.

Hitching in

From Istanbul

Alot of traffic coming to Bursa from Istanbul takes the Eskihisar car-ferry to Yalova (the ferry is easily hitchhiked. Just follow the instructions on the Eskihisar page) and it's really easy to just ask around in the ferry for a car going directly to Bursa. Otherwise you could go around the bay of Izmit although it generally takes more time.

From Izmir


Public Transport

The bus system and Bursaray metro system costs 2TL for a single ticket. A card can be bought for 3.50TL or you can borrow one. With a card it costs 1.25TL, and can be used for more than one person at a time. Each station has a security guard with a metal detector and it seems quite difficult to blackride unless you are super sneaky.
