Pathfinder Program - New Graduate

Your Journey Begins Here!

At Volt Lines, we are not just about transportation; we are about transforming urban mobility. We are seeking passionate and driven New Graduate Volt Liners who are fresh graduates eager to kickstart their careers and make a meaningful impact.

Who are we?

Volt Lines is the only technology-enabled player in the Turkish market competing against legacy incumbents. Volt Lines reduces emissions and traffic by turning premium 16-seater buses into a viable alternative to single-occupancy vehicles.

What do we do?

In Istanbul, over 50,000 buses operate at 31% efficiency. These buses, which contribute to the city's traffic with empty seats, could also be the solution to this problem. Volt Lines is the only shuttle service provider that has both software and transport service. This allows for optimal harmonization of the software and operation resulting in the creation of innovative experiences and services. Notable examples of these innovative services include DRT and Marketplace. DRT (short for Demand-Responsive Transport) was covered by a Harvard Business School case study that is being taught at the MBA program in Boston. Marketplace on the other hand allows companies to sell empty seats on their buses to neighboring passengers who are going in the same direction at the same time.
