17 elevators and 9 escalators on the Metrobus line were renewed. Renovation works of 1 elevator and 1 escalator continue. Project work continues for 10 stations that do not have disabled access.
The number of elevators on the Metrobus Line, which was 2021 in January 59, reached 2022 as of September 64. From the date of commissioning until 2021, the elevators were used without identification numbers, without periodic inspections and labeling studies. Elevator identification numbering and labeling of Metrobus elevators and escalators, whose maintenance, repairs and operations are carried out by the General Directorate of IETT, were completed in 2021, and 58 elevators operating without labels received a blue label as a result of periodic inspections.
As a result of the technical examinations carried out in the first quarter of 2022 for the elevators and escalators, which have served the people of Istanbul for many years, it was decided to renovate 18 elevators and 10 escalators, which were determined to have completed their economic life. As of September 2022, Halıcıoğlu platform, İBB Social Facilities south and north, Avcılar platform south and north, Cihangir south, Mustafa Kemal Paşa south, Haramidere north, Cumhuriyet Station south, Saadetdere north, Güzelyurt platform, Beykent platform and south, Şükrübey north, 17 elevators, including Beylikdüzü platform and south, were installed, renewed and certified.
