Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, we all: Yavuz Sultan Selim with the road stretching, 135 thousand vehicles per day was guaranteed. 2-3, 3-4 with oil costs, more money than the former. At the beginning of this process, the state guarantees 'the citizen pays in all ways'
The Tripod Bridge opened with great enthusiasm. 50 thousand tons of iron, 57 thousand tons of structural steel and 230 thousand tons of concrete were used for the construction. With these materials, we can say that the bridge is the biggest offshore investment that changes the climate. In addition to the other bridges, 200, the world's largest offshore structure, competes with the Russians' Sakhalin oil platform. However, when you think that 59 meter width and 1407 meter length are poured on the sea and 83 thousand square meters of asphalt will be noticed. Even if I do not mention the trees cut, the asphalt and the concrete, the eco-system divided.
We have to celebrate ourselves as a very serious force behind this success. We have money in one of the 7 domestic banks that give credit to the project. We also have citizenship in the state that provides 135 thousand vehicle crossover guarantee. So let's not eat our own right in the project which is disastrous in terms of climate change.
Marmaray is not running!
Marmaray 3,3 is capable of carrying two thousand 150 passengers per hour between two continents with an investment of 1 billion TL. It is cheaper than the 4,5 billion TL bridge and saves energy and reduces the vehicle's load. 2013 thousand vehicles passed on two bridges before the opening of Marmaray in 417, and this number fell to a thousand thousand in 2015. Marmaray, despite the increasing asphalt and automobile dependence in Istanbul, 386 thousand vehicles pulled through bridges per day. But there was a problem. Marmaray 31 passenger capacity per hour despite the capacity of 150 thousand passengers did not pass. In other words, Marmaray 190 carried as much as per hour.
Now the problem is, Marmaray 1 hour per hour, not the 5 hourly capacity of the passenger carrying the 135 thousand vehicles to leave the bridge more than the third to discuss, the first two would not even empty?
The job is the same but…
3.Kagu general reason to prevent heavy vehicles from entering the city. In fact, the transportation data of the tonne-kilometer load in the General Directorate of Highways report on transportation is telling us something very different.
In 2004 7,7 in Istanbul moved the billion-ton-miles load. Fewer than half of these, 4,4 billion ton-kilometers passed through the freeways. The rest was moved from the free state road. As for the 2015, this total has tripled, and the 21,6 has reached a billion ton-kilometer. State roads received shares from a unit of this unit, the motorways from the 3 unit took a share. In summary, while more goods were transported, the system made transportation dependent on the highway.
Carbon economy!
Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge is a complete high-carbon economy here is an example of success. Shorter than the other two bridges before the load and the passage of large vehicles are prohibited. Then the road is stretched. This extension is said to be the 65 km for intercity buses. Thus the state with oil taxes once wins. It is not enough for the concrete pouring on the sea and asphalt for the money is taken as the toll. It is not enough to cut millions of trees made for the Northern Marmara motorway is also received money.
As such, citizens receive 2-3 times more money with tolls and 3-4 times more money with oil expenses than in the past. At the beginning of this whole process, the state guarantees that 'my citizen pays in any way' and the bank where my money and salary stop gives its loan. This model is called a high carbon economy and we are the financiers of the largest climate-changing offshore structure.
Politicians? They are very happy with their lives except getting lost in floods in every rain.
