Two new metro lines are planned for Istanbul.

 

New line will stretch from one end of Istanbul to the other, from Beylikdüzü to Pendik for 72 kilometers.

 

With the new metro line called HIZRAY, which is planned to be tender this year, the distance between two will be reduced to about 1 hour. The speed on the line will reach 70-80 kilometers per hour.

 

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) held the "Great Move in Rail Systems" meeting.

 

Speaking at the meeting held at the Haliç Congress Center, IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlu said, "The main backbone of Istanbul's public transport system must be rail systems".

 

İmamoğlu said, “With the 91.5-kilometer lines to be completed by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, Istanbul's rail system network will reach 424.85 kilometers. With the new lines that we have prepared projects for between 2024 and 2029, our total network will increase to 622.15 kilometers ”.

 

İmamoğlu said that there will be a tender for the Beylikdüzü - Esenyurt - Sefaköy - İncirli Metro Line this year.
