President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan declared 2025 as the Family Year. Families traveling by bus and train during the Family Year will be offered discounted tickets. Families wishing to purchase bus and train tickets under the “Family Year” discount will receive discounts of up to 15% on trains and up to 40% on buses. So, how can one apply for the Family Year discounts? Who can benefit? Families wondering how to benefit from the Family Year discount on bus and train tickets are eager to learn the details of the discounts. As families plan their travels with their loved ones before the upcoming Ramadan holiday, they aim to take advantage of discounted train and bus tickets. But what is the “Family Year” discount, and how can one apply? Who can benefit from the Family Year discounts on bus and train tickets? In the year 2025 declared as the Family Year, train travels will be sold to families at discounted rates. As of March 8th, families can purchase train tickets with a 15% discount and travel at discounted rates. For couples getting married in 2025, a ‘Newlywed Fare’ will be implemented. With this special fare, newlywed couples can purchase train tickets at a 50% discount. Following the declaration of 2025 as the Family Year, a special discount program for families will be launched on intercity buses. With the new regulation, bus companies can offer discounts of up to 40% on family ticket prices. When at least 2 and up to 4 people wish to travel together on the same bus and route with tickets, they can benefit from the discount by proving they are a family. There is no need to apply for the discount; it will be sufficient for passengers to have the same surname or prove their family status with a relevant document in accordance with the law.
