The Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy subway we opened today is also a product of this vision. ”

We will soon start a giant project that will pass under the Bosphorus. We will realize a first in the world with this project. Two continents will be connected to each other with a total of 6,5 different rail systems and express metro that will be used by 9 million people a day. The Üsküdar-Ümraniye-Çekmeköy metro line, which will be put into service today, will not only connect 3 districts, but will be integrated into Marmaray from Üsküdar and from there to the Hacıosman subway.
