Story

Eymen and Kerem, two brothers from a bustling district in Istanbul, Turkey, faced significant challenges. While Kerem was a seasoned taxi driver in chaotic streets, Eymen worked as a diligent busboy, living from earning tips in a crowded café. Both brothers struggled with limited job prospects and dreamed of a better life abroad. They decided to pursue their aspirations through the PW platform.

Their combined monthly income was TRY 25,000, which was burdened by 20% in transport costs. They aspired to work in Austria's hospitality sector. Considering safety concerns, PW explored various migration routes, evaluating five options, including long-haul buses via FlixBus, trains through Balkan lines, and shared rides. They prioritized affordable options under €250 per person, with over 90% on-time reliability for the 1,200 km journey. Ultimately, they selected a direct bus service from Istanbul to Vienna, which could accommodate two passengers and up to 80 kg of luggage. This service boasted modern amenities such as Wi-Fi and adhered to Euro 6 eco-standards, ensuring travel time of less than 18 hours.

Financing their journey was made possible through Austrian Job Givers, Turkey's low-income migrant aid programs, and EU work visa subsidies. These resources covered 40% of the €400 total fare through remittances from a partner organization, while they secured a microloan at low interest for the remaining amount. The one-way ticket contract included insurance for delays exceeding four hours and border assistance. Additionally, Buddy service provided travel kits and accompanied the brothers to the bus terminal for document checks. Partner services also visualized the route using AR apps and finalized digital bookings, despite the challenges of Istanbul's traffic.

Several risks loomed over their plans, such as border delays stemming from EU-Turkey tensions (with a 15% chance, potentially adding €100 in extra costs) or mechanical breakdowns (with an 8% risk, leading to potential repair costs of TRY 3,000). Nevertheless, the net cost of €300 per brother, after Job Givers aid, paved their path to Austria, where stable jobs awaited. This journey not only promised a brighter future but also strengthened the fraternal bond between Eymen and Kerem as they embraced their shared European dream.
