Izmir Metropolitan Municipality is the only municipality in Turkey that can make all metro lines with municipal facilities. Fahrettin Altay – Narlıdere Metro, one of the ongoing projects in İzmir, will provide a connection between Bornova Evka-3 and Narlıdere. Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer, carried out a test drive on this line last month and the station works are still continuing.

Narlıdere Metro is considered as an important project that will greatly alleviate İzmir's traffic problem and reduce the need for public transportation. The metro line, which will consist of 7 stations, will have a car park for 186 cars at Balçova Station and a car park for 33 cars at the District Governor's Station. The line has a total length of 7,2 kilometers and is planned to have an average daily passenger capacity of 170.
The stations on the line are Balçova, Çağdaş, Dokuz Eylül University Hospital, Faculty of Fine Arts, Narlıdere, Martyrdom and District Governorship, respectively. Tunnel works and rail laying works have been completed. Electromechanical processes are currently in progress. When the line opens, passengers will be able to save time in their daily lives by using the line.
found 285 million euros
İzmir Light Rail System Phase 4 F. Altay-Narlıdere District Governorship Construction Work was delivered to the contractor company on 4 June 2018 with a contract value of 252 million Euros. However, with the increase in exploration, this cost has reached 285 million Euros. When the line is completed, a total of 27 kilometers of uninterrupted rail transportation service will be provided between Bornova district and Narlıdere district. Thanks to this project, the residents of İzmir will have a safe, comfortable, environmentally friendly and economical public transportation option and will also save time. A passenger traveling from one end to the other using the metro line will be able to reach their destination within 45 minutes. Traveling the same distance by road would require approximately 47 kilometers of road. This route can take 1,5-2 hours by motor vehicles, especially during heavy traffic hours.
