Uludag taxi hut

Kiosk 142: Uludag Taxi Hut.

"Located at 1813 metres above sea level, this taxi kiosk may just be one of the highest in Turkey. Approximately a one-hour drive from the automotive manufacturing city of Bursa, the mountaintop skiing village of Uludag sees it's fair share of snowfall in the winter months, hence the need for corrugated steel walls around the interior fiberglass shell of this lovely kiosk. Boasting the requisite Ataturk photo and electric heating elements, this kiosk also has a natural spring water fountain steps from the door, providing an endless supply of water for the ever present teapot inside. Additionally, it features two satellite dishes for receiving Bursaspor football matches and tear-inducing Turkish folk music from the likes of Bulent Ersoy. And, though the location may be seasonal for the bulk of traffic to and from the village, the average trip to and from Bursa runs an average of 100 lira, making the view and money earning potential of this location an real winner."
