Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Adil Karaismayiloglu announced the news that millions of Istanbul residents were looking forward to: the metro network in the metropolis is growing so fast that a new «branch» will open every month.
As it became known, the Ministry of Transport decided to separate its own projects within the framework of the metro structure from the IBB (city municipality) metro projects
Be that as it may, the life of citizens will be facilitated by the projects of both structures. Adil Karaismayiloglu confirmed that, as planned, the «branch line» to Sabiha Gokcen International Airport will start operating in September 2022.
There are also plans to «connect» the New Airport and the districts of Kemerburgaz, Gokturk, Kyatkhane, Besiktas, Gayrettepe and not only by rail.
So several significant lines will join the list of routes of the Istanbul metro before the end of 2022.
Another important transport «branches» in the city is worth mentioning the tram route from Alibeykey to Eminenyu, which will be commissioned in 2023.
