Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç, who made investigations at the high-speed train construction site in Bursa's Gürsu District, said, “This project we are in is the most important project of the last 100 years. Despite all these difficulties, our friends continue their work. Don't stop, keep going. I hope God will show us how to ride high-speed trains.” Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç and Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Lütfü Elvan examined the high-speed train construction site in Gürsü District. Arınç and Elvan, who toured the tunnel, then received information about the work done from TCDD General Manager Süleyman Karaman.
Stating that there are 780 meters left to finish the 15-meter-long tunnel within the scope of the project, Arınç stated that the tunnel will be completed as soon as possible. Reminding that the protocol of this project was signed on 30 December 2011, Arınç said, “This was a very happy job for us. Because in order to make Bursa the most important point of Turkey in order to make Bursa a world city, only the airport in Yenişehir is not enough, the İzmir highway project is very important, but the most convenient and comfortable travel can be achieved with high-speed trains. Fortunately, we have accomplished a successful job at the point where we saw examples in Europe and Japan in the past and we sighed when we understood 'oh when will these happen to us'. We will connect Bursa to Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir direction by high-speed train. In addition, we will have brought all of Turkey together in Bursa with other connections. About 10 months after the protocol we signed, we held the groundbreaking ceremony in the direction of Mudanya. We will have 3 stations on this line. Bursa, Yenişehir and Gürsu stations. Their locations have been identified," he said.
“FAST TRAIN IS MORE PROFITABLE BY GOING BY PLANE”
Underlining that high-speed trains are made by the state with state allowances to make citizens happy, Arınç said, “The divine cost of this area is close to 400 trillion. 300 trillion of this was also spent. However, 30 percent of it was realized. Because dozens of tunnels, viaducts, kilometers of length are manufactured. Imagine how strong our economy is. He can put a 70 trillion allowance in a 400-kilometer place and can afford to increase it if necessary. When we look at the government period 11 years ago, we remember the Prime Minister and the ministers, who sent 400 trillion, went abroad, and sent good news that "I found a loan of 1 million dollars". Today Praise to all the shaking, inside and outside Turkey against attempts to disrupt the economy of an area of only 300 million of these kadarlık narcissus and a state that has committed to pay in the future. Quadrillions are a different matter. If you consider a Izmir-Istanbul highway project of 12-13 quadrillion, the companies there are undoubtedly doing this with another formula. But we, as the state, make high-speed trains from our own budget. Today, you can go to Konya, go to Eskişehir, connect with Ankara, in 1 hour and 15 minutes, 1,5 hours depending on the place, and reduce the speed a little more, depending on the location, in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Even if you do the calculation, it is more profitable than going by plane. This project we are in is the most important project of the last 100 years. Despite such strength, our friends continue their work. No stopping, keep going. I hope God will show us the funeral of getting on high-speed trains. ”
MINISTER ELVAN: THE FAST TRAIN IS NOT ONLY PASSENGER
Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Minister Lutfi Elvan is one of the provinces of Bursa is of importance to Turkey, said: he said:
“Bursa is one of the important provinces that make very important contributions to the development, development, growth and export of our country. We are realizing two very important projects for our scholarship. One of them is our Istanbul-Bursa-İzmir highway. Our other project is our line connecting Bursa to Bilecik and connecting to Istanbul-Ankara high-speed train route. This is extremely important for us. We are breaking new ground in the high speed line. We will not only carry passengers with our high-speed train. We will also carry loads. Our aim is to end these works, especially in 2017, to complete the high speed train project. These are not easy projects. Remember, the governments before us have been struggling for years with the Bolu tunnel and they couldn't finish it. It was a 3 kilometer long tunnel. We have 9 kilometers long tunnel sections here. If you look at the total tunnel length, there is a tunnel length over 32 kilometers. For that period, governments used expressions such as 'let's collect potatoes here or use them as cold stores' for the Bolu tunnel. So now Turkey is developing, growing and getting stronger. It will continue to grow stronger. ”
Deputy Prime Minister Arınç and Minister of Transport, Maritime Affairs and Communications Lütfü Elvan then departed for İznik District by helicopter to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the İznik Yenişehir Highway.
