ALSANCAK OPENING
Alsancak Station will be put into service simultaneously with Hilal Transfer Station. Alsancak Station, one of the most heavily used stations of İZBAN, was closed to operation on 11 November 2012 due to the construction work of Hilal Transfer Station and the Kahramanlar-Akıncılar highway underpass constructed by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality. While all works were completed in the past period, Alsancak Station was also significantly renewed.

In the first place, Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, which makes it easier for passengers to transfer the Izmir Metro and bus, by increasing the width of the south bridge from 1.80 meters to 7 meters, will also start to expand the existing transfer bridge in the south. The existing bridge with a width of 2.60 meters will be expanded up to 6 meters, and will be turned into a giant bridge with 6 covered and XNUMX escalators. Thus, a much faster and more efficient transfer will be provided between İZBAN and İzmir Metro in Halkapınar.
