I do not understand the criticisms made to Marmaray for a while. I prefer Marmaray because it is more advantageous. I'm a university student. I live in Esenyurt, My School is in Üsküdar. I use Marmaray every day. I prefer Marmaray because it is more useful and fast. Anyone who does not criticize Marmaray today, prefers this system in their journeys between the two continents.

Marmaray is a blessing. It changed all my habits. I am very satisfied with Marmaray. I cross at least twice a week. I prefer Marmaray while crossing it. I used to take the ferry in the past. Now I'm riding the ferry just for nostalgia for fun.

Marmaray changed the standard of living. Now, two to two-and-a-half-hour crossing this time now, half this time has fallen. We can calculate when we're coming home. We can spare more time for ourselves.

We are getting on Marmaray with my daughter Şeymanur. I used to cross the road in the past, now I prefer Marmaray. I save both time and money. When I first got on Marmaray, I was worried. Over time, I have overcome this. Now we are boarding the family Marmaray in crossing the opposite side.
