If you want the easiest way... i would recommend you to go to bus station (Otogar) in Esenler, then take a bus from there... i would choose one of the companies from ULUSOY or VARAN, the chance of the workers there now english are higher than the others then approximately you are in Bursa in 3-4 hours. and they probably have services to uludag but i am not sure... there are a few more options but i think this is the simplest one have a nice trip

I went there by taking the ferry from Istanbul to Yalova(just more than one hour travel time). Then you can get on shuttle bus to get to the Terminal(otogar) where there are buses going to Bursa. The total travelling time is about 3 hours.
To me, Bursa is a small city which I didn't see too much difference from Istanbul, only it is not that busy. The most famous place is the snowy mountains for skiing. There is cable car service taking people uphills.
But if you come from a country having skiing sites and winter snowy sceneries, I don't think this is too spectacular a tourist place for visit.
Hotels are quite expensive during the cooler seasons as many rich Turkish will go there for holidays.
I planned to spend a week there but then I chose to leave after staying there 4 days. Umm, hope those from Bursa will not get mad with me... 
Anyway hope you enjoyed your trip.

I want to go there in december, i come from Romania, and we do have here very nice skiing resorts, but still i want to go to Bursa. I have friends tehere that i want to see. Anyway it seems like a long trip...3 hours to get there and 3 hours to go back to the airport...isn't there a bus that takes you directly from the airport to Bursa??
Anyway thank you for the tips

Unfortunately no my friend...
but i wouldnt recommend to go to ferry terminal on december with lots of luggages... or you think about a daily trip?
actually you should count the distance from airport to ferry terminal aswell...
there is direct metro to bus station from airport... another way... maybe abit expensive you should check the rates... fly to Bursa from istanbul
