TCDD has suffered from a general power outage, because it is dependent on the interconnected general E-network. In some advanced countries, the Railways Administration is completely independent of the interconnected network (eg: DB-AG in Germany) because it generates and transforms its own electricity. In the same way, communication has also been created, a perfect substructure of its own. Although this infrastructure is sold under privatization (Vodafone network in Germany today, former D2, before it is DB-AG network), the company is the priority user. Such a formation could and should be a super example for our country and the like, starting from scratch. Now, we have to make a withdrawal because we are the song in planning!
To the journalists who announced the situation: (1) It is not the Black-Train that attracts the YHT, but a Diesel-Locomotive. Karatren gets its name from Steam-Locomotive due to black smoke emission. (2) TCDD has done the right, pulled its passengers either with the train and / or sent them by bus, that is, it fulfilled its responsibility of transportation. So what if he did…, was he running? (3) The style of writing is not a critical, just an unwarranted criticism. The last one is that there are millions, but millions, in this country.
