Dog named Boji travels on İstanbul's public transport system.

The specialist teams of the İstanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İMM) Veterinary Services Directorate groomed Boji by taking him to the Kemerburgaz Animals Temporary Care Home on August 18, when Boji was also chipped, thanks to which the Metro İstanbul Customer Relations Directorate can now track the movements of Boji around the city.

The İMM has announced that Boji travelled across 29 stations in a day, covering at least 30 kilometers in the meantime.

İstanbul's now famous urban dog Boji uses all types of public transport vehicles available in the city such as the subway, Marmaray, tram and ferry. İstanbulites from various and far districts of the city come across Boji on different occasions and share his images on social media.

Boji now also has a social media account of his own.

Boji has been named after the system that enables the movement of the wheels in the subway and metrobus.
