Izmir once known as Smyrna, third largest city in Turkey, population 4 million, modern, with good public transport and sunshine hahaha, first time I have seen the sun since Spain.
I got a minibus from Kent Meydani in Bursa to the bus terminal cost 2 lira, from the bus terminal there are many buses leaving for Izmir, cost 35 lira, journey time 5 hours including a 30 min break. Once you arrive in Izmir there are free mini buses to various parts of the city.
