I crossed continents via bus. Here's how it went: The Metrobus network in Istanbul is extensive. It cuts through the middle of congested highways at speed and with high frequency. The buses themselves are high-capacity, with a culture of giving up seats to those who need them.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.
