In this article, bidirectional man riding by belt conveyor, which is located in between + 374/ + 49 levels, slope of 16 degrees, and 1230 m length main decline, was carried out for the first time in Turkey by Imbat Mining Co.Inc.'s Eynez Colliery Furthermore, besides the features of the bidirectional man riding system, the mine safety precautions that were taken to fulfill this transportation safely were explained.
