“We are actually witnessing a history here. As you know, the second subway in the world we know as tunnel, our short subway tunnel started at 1873 and finished at 1976. During our restoration work, there was a cigarette paper behind one of the dismantled panels there. I was very touched. I mean, someone who works there put him there to make a mark. You guys are making a lot of effort here. You're doing a job. Years later, maybe a century later, while the normal subways are operating here, millions of people will use the underground transportation systems in this city, but they will not only know us, but they will not know it individually. I thank each of you for your efforts, on behalf of the people of Istanbul. I know that history will make us happy.

We have invested in 68,5 billion pounds in every field from the infrastructure of Istanbul to the social fabric until today and we continue. Subways can be realized in serious numbers. If you say 50 million dollars per kilometer, we can easily understand what the cost means. In spite of this, we started with the slogan 'Everywhere Metro, Everywhere Metro' by using the resources given as a municipality correctly. We know what systems we integrate in Istanbul with our network in the transportation master plans we have made and which ones we develop, we will be able to use quality, comfortable transportation systems from Istanbul. ”

“We aim to reach a rail system of 2019 kilometers in 400. We bring the quality and comfortable transportation system to Istanbul with our people. Our future plans include making a subway stop within half an hour of walking distance to each neighborhood. The Kaynarca stop here is not the last line. This line will reach Tuzla. At the end of the year, we will see that the wagons will be downloaded and test drives will be made.

İstanbul Istanbul is gaining more modern and higher quality systems that use the most advanced technologies since their metro has been constructed recently. Before us maybe 100 years ago was the subway builders. But now they're old models. This is where the latest model subways are full of modern wagons, and in terms of comfort, quality and safety, a completely different system will emerge. ”
