After the June elections, 24 did not leave the Ministry of Development. Do you have a High Planning Board? We don't know exactly.

Technically, there is no shortage of making this investment. Teknik

You should not drive to the city center

Gökçe reminded that the tram passes through the city centers in the important metropolises of the world and completed his words as follows: We'il get vehicle traffic underground. Application projects are almost finished. The next semester is evaluated. The basic principle of transportation planning all over the world is that the city center is not a place to come by private car. Because if there is a congestion. The same goes for Izmir. Because the population of Izmir is no longer 1.5 million. The number of vehicles is increasing day by day. If we hadn't invested in a rail system. Our current bus number would be 1250 thousand instead of 3. Consider the impact this has on both traffic and environmental pollution. And a bus operation that hurts. The public is also burdened ”.
