Buca Metro Will Breathe Izmir Traffic
The construction work of the tunnels and stations of the Buca Metro will be completed with a contract value of 3 billion 921 million 498 thousand TL and will cost 765 million Euros with the trains that will run on the line.
When Buca Metro is put into service, transportation between Buca and Üçyol will become easier. University students' access to Dokuz Eylul University Tınaztepe Campus will be relieved. Buca Metro will also breathe life into Izmir traffic.
Buca Metro Will Provide Driverless Service
The line, which forms the 5th stage of the İzmir Light Rail System, will serve between Üçyol Station - Dokuz Eylül University Tınaztepe Campus - Çamlıkule. The length of the line, which will be passed through a deep tunnel using the TBM machine, will be 13,5 kilometers and will consist of 11 stations. Starting with Üçyol, the line will include Zafertepe, Bozyaka, General Asım Gündüz, Şirinyer, Buca Municipality, Kasaplar, Hasanağa Bahçesi, Dokuz Eylül University, Buca Koop and Çamlıkule stations respectively. The Buca line will be integrated with the existing metro line running between Fahrettin Altay and Evka-3 at Üçyol Station, and with the İZBAN line at Şirinyer Station. Train sets on this line will serve without drivers. Within the scope of the project, a maintenance workshop and warehouse building will be built in an indoor area of 80 square meters.
