We gave our cities a breath of fresh air with transit passes. We, with our service and work policy, saw service to our people as a service to 'God'. In our service moves, we never got into day-to-day discussions. We have more work to do, more to go. We have acted with the awareness that every investment and every project we have realized so far is the seeds we sow for the bright future of our country. In the last 20 years, we have invested 183 billion dollars in the transportation and communication infrastructure of our country. In this way; We contributed 520 billion dollars to national income, 1 trillion 79 billion dollars to production and 18 million people to employment. We are strengthening Turkey's transportation and communication infrastructure, day and night, with hundreds of thousands of employees at our over 4 construction sites all over our country.

We increased our conventional line length to 11 thousand 590 kilometers. We increased our total railway network to 13 thousand 22 kilometers. We increased the number of airports from 26 to 57.

When we say that, trains, subways, cars will pass under the Bosphorus with tube passages, airlines will be the way of the people, everyone from 7 to 70 will use high-speed internet; some of them did not believe us and even tried to make fun of them. But today we have accomplished all of these things. We are not satisfied, we said that we will build a national high-speed train, we will send our domestic satellites to space. We said we will make a domestic plane. We said that we will bring Kanal Istanbul to life. Thank God, we will implement them just as we have fulfilled the previous promises we made," he said.
