Title: new dolmus
Post by: Ally B on May 11, 2017, 15:22:19 PM

Just been on a new Dolmus coming from Fethiye.My wife and I both have knee problems and I have never felt so uncomfortable.There is next to no knee room.They make the Indian tut tut taxis seem like Rolls Royce's.I think it will be the big bus for us in future.

Couldn't agree more bring back the old dolmus, being 6'4 I feel your knee pain. Standing is best for me but then I struggle to see when to get off.

Whoever commissioned these terrible designs ought to be made to sit on one for a whole day....

The market next to the patisserie on the Baris Manco rd, think its Sembol. You can buy and top up there.

Just done a trip to Datca no choice but the new Dolmus, they do not run they big comfortable busses any more. It was pergatory, three hours to Marmaris then one and half to Datca. I will not be doing similar journeys of exploration again.

Be better to hire a car for the day. Between £10.00 - £17.00.  Datca is lovely, enjoyed our visit there.

Not everyone wants to sit cramped up in agony on a domus for four and a half hours either. Perhaps driving for one day of a holiday in comfort would be much more desirable for some people
