In this way, we aim to ensure that the Bursal goes to Ankara and Istanbul with the comfort of high-speed trains in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Infrastructure work between Bursa and Yenişehir continues, as everyone knows. We have reached the level of 45 percent. Again, we made tenders for the completion of the infrastructure from Yenişehir to Bilecik and the superstructure of the entire 106 kilometers between Bilecik Bursa. We received the offers on the 3rd of this month, on April 3. Our assessment is continuing now, but it has reached its final stage. Our goal is to complete the tender processes in the next month and thus, we will start the superstructure of Bursa, Bilecik, Ankara, Istanbul high speed train. Our goal is to complete the high-speed train line by the end of 2019 and bring it to the test stage, and by 2020, we will introduce Bursa and the guests who want to come to Bursa. This project is the project that we have spent 1 billion 210 million money to date. When the project is completed, the cost will be 5 billion 600 million. This will be the money we spend only for Bursa high speed train. For the 106-kilometer line. It is still nice. Bursalı deserves this very much. ”

Bursa has gained 15 billion lira transportation investment in the last 13,5 years. This is a very important figure. Today, we have done a very useful and useful work on transportation. We have evaluated the point we have reached regarding the projects that will mark Bursa's upcoming period. The fact that the high-speed train will be completed by the end of 2019 has made some clear and clear statements about the high-speed train that will eliminate the perceptions of Bursa and Bursa residents. The tender process has started and at the end of 2019, I hope we will start the test drives of Bursa's high speed train. We will bring the people of Bursa together with this comfortable service in 2020. ”
