The desire for a railway public transport connection that passed under the Bosphorus increased gradually in the early 1980s and the first comprehensive feasibility study was carried out in 1987.
As a result of the studies, the route determined in today's project was determined as the best route. The project, which was outlined in 1987, was discussed in the coming years and in 1995 it was decided to carry out more detailed studies and studies and to update the feasibility studies, including passenger demand forecasts in 1987.
First digging hit in 2004
