Talk:Istanbul Metro

Stations section
Having just discovered that the List of Istanbul Metro stations article exists, I would strongly urge that the 'Stations' section at this article be seriously trimmed – it should be converted to a short section that just discusses the Istanbul Metro's stations in generalities, but includes the 'Main' article linker to List of Istanbul Metro stations if people want to see the list of stations. But keeping the list of stations at this article is totally unnecessary in this editor's opinion. Are there any objections to doing this?... If there are no comments forthcoming about this in the near future, I may plan on doing exactly that on me end. --IJBall (talk) 18:59, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Total length of Istanbul Metro is wrong
13 km Marmaray and 33.8 km modern tramways as overground must be added into the total length. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Msimsak (talk • contribs) 15:27, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No, the length is correct – the length in the article covers just the rapid transit portion of Istanbul's rail system (i.e. just the Istanbul Metro itself). Marmaray is commuter rail; the tramways are trams – that means neither are "rapid transit". The total length of all of those added together would be "the total length of all rail services" in Istanbul, not the true "total length of the Istanbul Metro" or the "total length of Istanbul's rapid transit" network. The distinction is extremely important. --IJBall (talk) 17:19, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Msimsak (talk) 08:28, 26 January 2015 (UTC) Almost all of the tramways are working as overground functionaly in Istanbul apart from historical areas. (for instance Kabataş-Taksim Funicular). Meanwhile, Marmaray is built as commuter line and metro line, all metro which pass from Anatolian side to Europian side using it every 6 minutes since started.

Is Asia on the right side of the map and Europe on the left side?
Asia is left from Europe. Pavel Senatorov, developer of programming language Ya (talk) 17:44, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's correct. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:57, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

News
A project to construct a subway line connecting Istanbul’s third airport to the city center has been launched, said Transportation Minister Feridun Bilgin.

A tender for the project’s testing and preparation stage has started, with the aim of completion in one year’s time, Bilgin said. The tender was made July 27 and after a year of project testing and other processes, the construction’s main tender will be made in mid-2016, said the minister.

“The new subway line will enable people to reach the third airport from several points in the city center faster,” Bilgin noted, as quoted by Anadolu Agency.

The subway line, starting from Gayrettepe, will be 33 kilometer-long and will take 26 minutes from one end to the other. Gayrettepe, where the existing subway, Metrobus and bus lines currently meet, will be the main transfer point for both the Asian and European sides, Bilgin said.

The trip from Istanbul’s touristic İstiklal Street to the new airport will take 42 minutes and 70 minutes from the Kadıköy district on the Asian side, he added.

New news
If you look at http://istanbulunmetrosu.com/assets/img/maps/big/2019-sonrasi.png, you can see that many new lines and stations are planned, maybe these should be mentioned in the related section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.250.87.28 (talk) 15:33, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
