Speaking at the signing ceremony held for the purchase of 30 rail system vehicles, Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mehmet Özhaseki said that the approximate cost of 30 vehicles was around 42 million Euros, which amounted to approximately 125 million liras. Stating that the rail system has been talked about in Kayseri for almost 30 years, Mayor Özhaseki said, “Before me, many of our mayor friends have tried to bring the rail system to Kayseri. It is the right thing to do, because you cannot use private vehicles to transport people in growing cities. The whole world saw this early and switched to the rail system for him. In cities with a population of around 1 million like us, even in cities with 2-3 million larger than ours, trams are used in transportation. When there are overloads on some lines, the population reaches 5-10 million and the number of passengers going to a destination increases several times, then it is necessary to go underground and make a subway. However, the system we have made is valid in cities with a population like ours or with a population of 3-4 million. Thank God we tried, God made us succeed and the rail system came to Kayseri. In the first place, we started with a 17-kilometer line. Then we finished two lines of 17 kilometers. The last Talas line is about to finish. We start operating within a period of three months. Our vehicle number was 22 in the first place. Later, we bought 16 more vehicles and it was 38. Then we made a tender for 30 more vehicles. Now we are signing the contract for this. Because the rail system will gradually expand and new lines will be opened. " said.
LOCAL CONSTRUCTION AND LOCAL COST
Underlining two points to be proud of in his speech, President Özhaseki continued his words as follows: “In the past, when foreigners did many jobs in the rail system, it has now become what we know. I am proud to say that our friends and engineers are working on the rail system route on the Talas line. Kayseri children are building. We do it very fast. Again, I am grateful, ambitious Turks came out about the rail system vehicle. One of these friends is Murat Bozankaya. Their workplace is in Germany. They won our tender. I wish the agreement to be beneficial. "
After the speeches, Mayor Mehmet Özhaseki and Bozankaya AŞ Chairman of the Board Murat Bozankaya Signed the contract for the purchase of 30 vehicles. During his statements, President Mehmet Özhaseki stated that the production of rail system vehicles could be in Kayseri.

However, since we are dealing with another project there, we have a very high opportunity to bring this business to Kayseri. At first, we need to produce one or two vehicles in Germany, because we will do the tests there. But we will produce the rest either in Ankara or Kayseri. I can say that we can give the answer to this clearly in September. " he spoke.
