Alibeyköy Cep Bus Terminal is built as a new generation bus terminal. The bus terminal is inspired by airports. Technological systems utilised in the terminal are designed differently from the known classical intercity bus terminals. Vehicle number plate recognition systems of the terminal are controlled 24 hours a day by ultrasonic sensors.[5]
