But this was not the case in Marmaray. The perception of the project is completed in the public opinion. However, for most of the project, only the rails were removed. Haydarpaşa and Sirkeci stations are idle. 10 train sets consisting of 32 wagons were purchased from South Korea.

Pointing out that the unfinished part of Marmaray can be completed in 7-8 months if sensitivity is shown, Mithat Ercan said, “However, it does not seem possible to finish before two years in its current state. At the meeting held last week, it was decided to start the construction works between Haydarpaşa-Pendik, where the rails were dismantled 2 years ago.
