President Recep Erdoğan on Saturday inaugurated the Başakşehir-Kayaşehir metro line in Istanbul.

Erdoğan spoke at the opening of the Kayaşehir metro station, which was completed by the Transportation and Infrastructure Ministry, which overtook the project from Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB).

He added that the ministry had completed 130 kilometers of metro lines in Istanbul, and continued work on five more metro lines equalling 55 kilometers.

The rail network of Istanbul, which has reached 325 kilometers with the latest opening, will surpass 380 kilometers, Erdoğan noted.

He said; “Over 50% of Istanbul’s rail network will have been completed by our Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.

Some people only talk, some do. Some serve. We have never been like those who talk with no action, we are people of action.”
