Şehir Hatları'na 3 yeni yolcu gemisi

İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanı Kadir Topbaş, Şehir Hatları filosuna 3 adet "double ended" tipi yolcu gemisinin katılması nedeniyle düzenlenen törende, "Denizi doğru kullanmak gerekiyor. Maalesef denizdeki ulaşım keyifli ama gecikmeli. Niye? 6-4 milden fazla yapamadığı için sürati, yavaş gittiği için... İnsanlarımız çok aceleci. Bir an önce ulaşmak istiyorlar, işine gitmek istiyor. Daha hızlı erişim istiyor. Yoksa denizde geminin keyfi, tadı başka hiç bir araçta elde edilemez" dedi.
