Dear Relatives And Managers,
If the RayHaber If you are a reader and a follower of news and comments about Izmir, you know that I am a critical commentator of Izmir Rail-Transportation systems quite often. The main critical location, which is repeated quite frequently, is the WC / toilets, which are still in use in the project of the İZBAN-METRO system, which are not put in the stations and are still missing. This is still critical.
But today's news is:
First idea, the first attempt, the first concept, planning, financing, realization for all, especially the IBB, Mr. President Aziz KOCAOĞLU, TCDD officials, everyone who contributed as an Izmir THANK YOU a DEBT.
Project and manufacturing stages, including delays, no matter what;
THIS IS DEFINITELY A SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS, THAT IS NEVER A SAMPLE TO ALL THE BIG CITIES OF OUR COUNTRY!
The number of passengers carried out is the clearest evidence of this!
Thanks and wishes to continue your successes, Regards!
