Kadıköy Kartal Subway

KadıköyIt has , Ayrılıkçeşme, Acıbadem, Ünalan, Göztepe, Yenisahra, Kozyatağı, Bostancı, Küçükyalı, Maltepe, Nursing Home, Gülsuyu, Esenkent, Hospital/Courthouse, Soğanlık, Kartal stations.

Although the public transport demand on the Asian side of Istanbul has been increasing day by day and the existing roads have been expanded and additional roads have been constructed, traffic jam problems have not been prevented and the search for a radical solution has been started since 1990.

With heavy vehicle traffic KadıköyIt was designed to reduce the load of the D – 100 highway between Kartal and Kartal, to ensure fast and massive passenger transportation on this axis and to accelerate the transportation between the two continents. This line integrates with Marmaray Line at İbrahimağa Station. Same time Kadıköy Sea connection is provided through the station. The first tender was awarded with the projects prepared for this purpose and the first construction works contract was signed in 2005.
Considering factors such as the fact that the D ları 100 highway will be partially closed to traffic, the road will be narrowed due to the section to be allocated to the rail system and the light rail system will not be able to fully respond to the need, in July 2005 decided to build the system completely underground and subway it is given.

Stations will have a platform length of 180 m and 8 metro trains will be moving in the same direction every 2,5 per minute. The system is capable of transporting 70.000 passengers in the same direction within one hour per hour, and it is planned to serve more than one million passengers per day.

Has a length of 22 kilometers Kadıköy-Kartal Metro has 16 stations. From Kartal Pendik In the construction of the line extended to Kaynarca, the world's fastest tunnel work was carried out in the city. Record tunnel excavation speeds of 150 meters per day were achieved. Electromechanical and finishing works have now started at 15 stations. Rail laying between Kozyatağı and Kartal has been completed. 250 m a day. rail mounting is being done. The total rail length of the line will reach 48 thousand 572 meters.

Taking the latest technology wagons into service

The number of wagons provided for the line was increased from 120 to 144 due to the extension of the line to Kaynarca. During the shipment process that started in January, 16 wagons have arrived at the site so far. 4 wagons have a capacity of 1.084 passengers, and 8 wagons have a capacity of 2 passengers. In fact, it was possible to carry more passengers with high-capacity wagons.
