Thousands of delegates attending the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye, are facing transportation frustrations. Some have spent up to three hours on journeys that were originally planned to take around 50 minutes. Organisers have received complaints about the poor transportation system, with participants accusing them of failing to deliver the efficient service promised.
Attendees have resorted to expensive private transportation or endured long waits at designated bus stops in adverse weather. A delegate from Somalia expressed their distress, stating that the situation was becoming unbearable. Another participant from the United Kingdom also criticized the transport situation, suggesting that alternative solutions were necessary.
The challenges have disrupted participants' daily schedules, with some arriving late for meetings and other activities. Despite the transportation issues, the conference is expected to draw nearly 100,000 international participants from nearly 200 countries.
