Girne American University Global Education Institution Press Coordinator, Assist. Prof. Dr. Güven Arıklı evaluated the topic of public transportation and the contributions of university students in transportation, which is the most discussed topic recently, in a TV show.

Arıklı criticized the extension of the debate started after inhibition and the prevention of service of the 13 Girne American University (GAU) buses which were detained in customs. Arıklı then stated that “The real sector concept is not fully settled in TRNC so the transportation issues are tried to be managed with daily decisions. Hereby transportation problems of thousands of students who came to our country for Higher Education came up. The problem is with those who are concerned, not with the university.”

Arık stated that a problem cannot be solved by postponing it and stated that “Public transport sector in the country is unable to reach to a healthy structure so the universities have been forced to take initiatives in this regard.”

Arıklı stated that “Our people will give the best decision concerning the ones who ignores the passenger transportation stacked at the back of trucks without any safety precautions.”

Güven Arıklı stated that “We firstly have to deal with 100 thousand of people`s transportation problem.” and continued as follows:

“If the government has any solution about this issue we would like know it. Universities should not be prevented to provide a free transportation service to the students instead they should be encouraged.”
