Kadir Topbaş made a statement about turning metrobus into subway

Kadir Topbaş made a statement about the conversion of the metrobus to the metro: Kadir Topbaş, the Mayor of ISTANBUL Metropolitan Municipality (IMM), said, “I am here, if God can. Of course, this is politics. Our citizens, my party will make this decision. To date, our services to Istanbul are obvious. ”

He also made explanations about making the metro on the Topbaş metrobus route, saying, “The route has been determined, the project works have reached a point. At a point to start the tender. There is an intense study on this route. Today, it is not possible to increase that system to a different capacity with the existing device. But this is solved by the subway. It's time for the subway. ”

Stating that 55 percent of the investments are used for transportation, Topbaş said, “We are the municipality that makes the most metro in the world among the municipalities.” Stating that 800 thousand people are transported daily by metrobus, Topbaş said, “Metrobus brought a very important opportunity to the city. It was a short-term solution for transportation. Very fast and inexpensive solution. But in terms of density, it has now given the signals of turning into a subway. ” Stating that they are planning a metro network with a capacity of 2016 million in Istanbul in 7, Topbaş stated that they aim to increase this figure to 2019 million per day in 11. Topbaş said, “No water problem, no air pollution, no garbage. A cleaner Istanbul is mentioned than New York. ”

İBB President Topbaş stated that they plan to make a metro on the metrobus line route and said, “The route has been determined and the project works have reached a point. At a point to start the tender. There is an intense study on this route. Today, it is not possible to increase that system to a different capacity with the existing device. But this is solved by the subway. It's time for the subway. ” Underlining that the Metrobus line will continue to be used, Topbaş said, “The Metrobus line will continue. At the bottom, the subway will be activated. Because of the increasing population in that region, it will support the metro in that region. Metrobus will meet the needs of those who want shorter distances, few stops before getting off the metro, and fewer kilometers. We will not remove that system. Metrobus will continue and there will be a metro at the bottom. The two will be supporting each other. ”
