A truck driver named Hakan Demirel, who boarded a public bus owned by the Metropolitan Municipality, accidentally left a bag containing 100,000 Turkish liras on the seat when he got off the bus. After realizing that he had forgotten the bag with the money in it, Demirel contacted the Transportation Planning and Rail Systems Department to report the situation. The call center then contacted the bus driver, Ali Türk, to inform him of the situation.
Ali Türk, the bus driver, checked the bus and found the bag on a seat right next to where another passenger was sitting. He safely secured the bag and kept it until it could be returned to its rightful owner. The bag was then returned to Demirel by the officials from the Transportation Planning and Rail Systems Department, and he expressed his gratitude to them and to bus driver Ali Türk for their honesty and help in retrieving the lost money.
The incident was captured on the bus’s security camera, showing Demirel boarding the bus, accidentally leaving the bag on the seat, and the driver finding and securing the bag with the money. The footage serves as evidence of the honest and responsible actions taken by the bus driver and the transportation officials in ensuring the safe return of the lost money to its owner.

The incident highlights the importance of honesty and integrity in everyday interactions, as well as the role of surveillance cameras in ensuring the safety and security of public transportation. It also serves as a reminder for passengers to be cautious and mindful of their belongings while traveling on public buses and other modes of transportation. The positive outcome of this story demonstrates the value of responsible behavior and the positive impact it can have on others in restoring faith in human decency and kindness.
