İZMİR

Footage from the western province of İzmir showing a man halting a tram by performing prayers on a tram line has gone viral on social media.

Aysu Tuna, the machinist of the tram, told the Doğan News Agency that she stopped her vehicle and waited for the man to complete his prayers.

“I noticed a man performing prayers. We would normally give a warning but I did not want to disturb him as he was performing his prayers. So I stopped the tram,” Tuna said, denying that passengers were disturbed by the delay.

She also added that the man thanked her after completing his prayers.
