ÇORBİS Station Commences Operations at North Campus
The ÇORBİS station, made available throughout the city by Çorum Municipality, has commenced operations at Hitit University's North Campus.
With the ÇORBİS station established by Çorum Municipality, students will be able to easily commute both within the campus and around the city by bicycle.
The opening of the ÇORBİS station, established within the Hitit University North Campus, was attended by Çorum Mayor Dr Halil İbrahim Aşgın, Hitit University Rector Prof. Dr Ali Osman Öztürk, Provincial Director of Youth and Sports Cemil Çağlar, academics and a large number of students.
Speaking at the opening, Mayor Dr Halil İbrahim Aşgın stated that they initially launched ÇORBİS with 8 stations and 50 bicycles, adding, "Today, with the awareness we have raised among our young people on the university campus, we have added 5 new stations, bringing the number of stations in our city to 13. We have also increased our number of bicycles to 101, representing an increase of over 100 per cent since we started. As long as you support these projects, the number of our stations and bicycles will continue to grow. Because we want our young people to be more involved with bicycles, both for sport and for transport."
Prof. Dr. Ali Osman Öztürk, Rector of Hitit University, who mentioned that Çorum Municipality supports the university's work as well as the city's, thanked Mayor Aşgın and his team for all the opportunities they provided, saying, "We are renovating and beautifying our campus. We are taking steps towards becoming a green campus. We would like to thank our esteemed Mayor Dr. Halil İbrahim Aşgın and his team for the connection between our campus and the city. They are providing us with every possible opportunity by adjusting public transport schedules to exam times. In addition, they are providing the ÇORBİS facility as the green campus of the green city. On behalf of myself and the university, I would like to thank them for providing our students with such opportunities."
