After the Üsküdar Ümraniye Metro, which was opened by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the past weeks, the work for the second stage was accelerated.
In recent years, the number of new metro lines in Istanbul will be added. The first section of Üsküdar, Ümraniye, Çekmeköy and Sancaktepe Metro Lines, which was started to work in 2012, was opened in the last weeks with the participation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The second phase of the Metro Line, Çekmeköy and Sancaktepe, is still under construction. Officials announced that the second part will be inaugurated in June.
