The foundation of the Buca Metro, which will be brought to the city by the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, will be laid on Monday, February 14, with a ceremony attended by CHP Chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu.
The 13,5-kilometer route in Buca Metro will follow Halide Edip Adıvar Street from Üçyol. By following Mehmet Akif Street, it will reach Şirinyer Junction, in front of Buca Municipality, near Hasanağa Garden, Dokuz Eylül University Tınaztepe Campus and Çamkule region as the last station. The Buca line, which will include 11 stations, will be built as a deep tunnel. It is planned to reduce the transportation time to 20 minutes with the metro, which will serve between Çamlıkule and Üçyol.
Buca Metro Stations
The line, which forms the 5th stage of the İzmir Light Rail System, will serve between Üçyol Station - Dokuz Eylül University Tınaztepe Campus-Çamlıkule. The length of the line, which will be passed through a deep tunnel using the TBM machine, will be 13,5 kilometers and will consist of 11 stations.

Train sets on this line will serve without drivers. Within the scope of the project, there will be a maintenance workshop and a warehouse building in a closed area of 80 square meters. Buca Metro is expected to be completed in four years.
Cost of Buca Metro
Izmir Metropolitan Municipality signed an external financing agreement worth 250 million Euros with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in July and the French Development Agency (AFD) in November for the Üçyol-Buca Metro line. An authorization agreement was signed with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) for 125 million Euros and with the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) for 115 million Euros. Thus, an international investment of 490 million Euros was brought to the city.
Gülermak Ağır Sanayi İnşaat ve Taahhüt A.Ş. was awarded in the tender, in which many companies and consortiums competed for the construction of Buca Metro. It undertook the construction of tunnels and stations by bidding 3 billion 921 million 498 thousand TL. In fact, Buca Metro, which is planned to cost 765 million Euros together with the trains to run, will be the biggest investment in the history of the city in the field of rail systems, with a cost of approximately 12 billion liras.
