Istanbul Public Transportation Map Pdf Istanbul public transportation map pdf Continue Istanbul's public transport network rail and metrobus (rapid transport bus) transit network Istanbul rail and metrobus (bus fast) transit network - The public transport scheme in Istanbul includes a bus network, various rail systems, cable cars, and maritime services to serve more than 13 million city residents extending to an area of 5,712 km2. The history of Tunnel is the oldest surviving underground urban railway line in continental Europe. Public road transport in Istanbul was signed on August 30, 1869, when a contract was signed for the construction of a tram system in the capital of the Ottoman Empire. By this agreement, The Societe de Trams of Constantinople by Konstantin Crepano Effendi received a concession to operate public transport for forty years. The opening of four lines of equestrian trams took place in 1871. In the first year, the trams transported 4.5 million people on the Azapkapa-Galata, Aksarai-Edikule, Aksaray-Topkape and Eminani-Axarai lines. Additional lines were added in the following years. 430 horses were used to draw 45 wagons, including a 15-year-old type and some two-story, on a 1000 mm (3 foot 3⁄8 in) meter track track. In 1912, the horse tram was put into operation for one year, as the Ministry of Defense sent all horses to the front during the Balkan War. The nostalgic tram on Istiklal Avenue Tram network was electrified by an overhead contact wire on February 2, 1914. The tram began italics on the Anatolian part of Istanbul on June 8, 1928 between Shkudar and Kesykle. By the 1950s, the length of tram lines had reached 130 km. Trams were on service on the European side of the city until August 12, 1961 and on the Asian side until November 14, 1966. At the same time, when the tram began to work, on July 30, 1871, construction began on the Tunel, a short cable car between Pera and Galata. The funicular was opened for service on December 5, 1874, the second oldest subway in the world after the London Underground. At first, only freight and livestock transported. On January 17, 1875, after the test launches were completed, the cable car was opened to the public. It is still in operation. In 1872, a commuter railway line was built on the European side of the city from Sirkechi to Khadimkei, followed in 1873 by the Anatolian section from the Gaidarpasha terminal to Izmit. The ferry is one of the oldest transit facilities in Istanbul, a two-part city separated by the Bosphorus Strait and surrounded by the sea. In 1837, British and Russian boats began transporting along the Bosphorus. The naval company Istanbul was founded in 1851 by decree of the Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecides I. Ferry service began in 1853 with six paddle steamers, at robert White's shipyard in England. The service was extended in 1859 to places around the Golden Horn. After 1903, the propeller-driven propeller-driven were put into operation. Until 1929, boats were imported; ferries were later built at shipyards in the Golden Horn. At its peak, the fleet contained 40 boats. In 1867, the same company began road transport through Boshaziche (Bosphorus) between Kabatash and Escadar with two ferries purchased from England as the first planned ferry lines in the world. All ferry companies were nationalized in 1945. Bus services in Istanbul began in 1926 with four Renault-Scania buses between Beyazut and Karakyo. The park grew from 9 buses in 1942 to 16 in 1955 and to 525 buses in 1960, and then became the backbone of public transport in an ever-increasing city. Several British and French companies operated all public transport in Istanbul until June 16, 1939, the date of nationalization. The newly established company SETT (Astana Electric Tram company and Tunel) has since taken over the task of public transport in Istanbul. On May 27, 1961, trolleybuses were first commissioned between Topkape and Eminino after the removal of trams. However, after a while they were decommissioned, as they also prevented the growth of traffic on the narrow streets of the old city. In 1988, the istanbul municipality founded the company Ulashm A.S. (Transport Inc.) LRT (since 1989), Metro (since 2000) and Modern Trams (since 1992). The company is still active and will be the operator of new railway lines. The Sirkeci Terminal on the European side of Istanbul was opened in 1890 as the final part of the Rumeli Railway and The Orient Express Transport Today Metro Home article: Istanbul Metro Osmanbey Station Istanbul Metro First Line (M1) began service on September 3, 1989 between Aksarei and Kartaltepe. The line was developed step by step and reached Ataturk Airport on 20 December 2002. The line has 18 stations and is 19.6 km (12.2 miles) long. By 2012, the daily rider had 416 journeys and 210,000 passengers. Even if it is measured as the first line, the line is actually an LRT system with many common characteristics with the T4 line, including rolling stock. Although they are classified differently by the operator. Construction of the underground railway in Istanbul began in 1992. The first line (M2) between Taksim and the 4th Levent was sedate on September 16, 2000. This line is 8.5 km long and has 6 stations that all look similar but in different colors. The northern extension from 4th Levent to ataturk Ote Sanaya station in Maslak, Ayazash, was commissioned in 2009, as well as the southern extension from the taxima to the Sishane station in Beyoglu, near the northern entrance to Theunel. The last northern extension for a short period of time, Hachi Osman was opened in 2011. The rest of the southern metro, which will operate in The Golden Horn on the bridge and underground through the old town is also under construction. In 2013, the southern extension of the M2 from Shishane to Nicape over the new Golden Horn Bridge was opened, allowing the line to reach the Onicap transfer centre. Finally, the east terminal of the airport lines (M1A) and Bashkalar (M1B) was extended from Aksaray to this transfer centre in 2014. On the Asian side, the 26.5 km (16.5 mile) long M4 line opened on August 17, 2012 to Kartal. The line will have a total of 19 stations when the second section to Kainarki opens. It is offered connection to Sabiha Geksen airport. Construction of the M5 highway, which will link Askudar, Shmranie and Shekmekiyoy from the Asian side, has also begun. There are currently 124 Hyundai-Rotem (M2) and 120 CAF (M4) trains in operation. The journey across the line takes 27 (M2) and 32 (M4) minutes. All lines are run by the Istanbul metro (the new name of Istanbul Oulashhim A.S.), which belongs to the municipality of Istanbul. Metro, light rail and commuter-rail system (2014) Tram main articles: Istanbul tram and Istanbul nostalgic tram tracks Nostalgic tram and modern tram systems of Istanbul opened horse-drawn trams in 1872, and they served the people of Istanbul until 1912. After this date, electric trams were put in place and they were the main means for urban public transport until 1966. Many routes were built step by step and it reached its widest network in 1956 with 108 million passengers in 270 shuttles in 56 lines. Trams have not been upgraded for decades, and some of the 1911 electric cars are still running in the 1960s. At that time, modern buses provided faster and smoother trips. Because of these negative problems, the tram system was shut down in the mid-1960s. Traffic jams have worsened since the early 1970s. By the mid-1980s, Istanbulians realized that the uncontrolled expansion of motorization and the closure of the tram network was a mistake. Other cities around the world, such as Tunisia and Buenos Aires, also understood this error, and like them, Istanbul also planned the return of tram tracks. As an experiment, Istanbul first opened a heritage tram on the European side in 1990. Due to the growing popularity, they have opened a modern tram system, starting in 1992, also on the European side. Now the Asian side has a legacy of the tram system, while the European side has both the legacy of the tram and the modern tram system. The modern tram consists of T1 and T4 lines originally operated with 55 low- floor Bombardier Flexity Swift and 32 Alstom Citadis. Another line (T4) was opened in 2007 between Edirnecape and Messid-i Selam. There are 22 stations and a length of 15.3 km. Since March The year line runs between Topkap and Hapibler Service operated with LRT vehicles built by SGP in 1989. By 2012, the daily rider had 380 journeys (clarification needed) and and Passenger. The Yenikapa Transfer Centre, where there is possible communication between Marmarai and the metro: Marmarai, starting in June 2013, commuter lines on both sides of the city (a suburb of Istanbul and the suburb of Gaidarpasha) were closed for restoration work, as well as for their merger in a single line through the underwater tunnel through the Bosphorus as part of the Marmarai project. On March 12, 2019, all parts of the Marble district are open. Funicular Main Articles: Kabatash-Taksim Funicular and Tunel, managed by SETT, Tunel (1875) in Istanbul was the first underground railway line in continental Europe, and the second underground railway line in the world after the London Underground (1863) Istanbul is served by two underground cable cars, very different ages and styles.

  • Chapter 3 Road Network and Traffic Volume
    The Study on Integrated Urban Transportation Master Plan for Istanbul Metropolitan Area in the Republic of Turkey Final Report Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Road Network and Traffic Volume 3.1 Road Network 3.1.1 Inter-regional Road Network 1) Existing Road Turkey is situated at the transit corridor between South-east Europe and the Middle East. Since “The Declaration for The Construction of International Arteries” (AGR) prepared by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) in 1950 in Geneva, Turkey has developed international corridors connecting it to Southern Europe, because the international road network of AGR included an extension to Turkey. According to the provisions of AGR, two arteries should reach Turkey as E-Road. These are E-80 entering from the Bulgarian border (Kapikule) and E-90 entering from the Greek border (Ipsala). These two main routes link the International Road Network of Europe with the Middle East and Asia at southern and eastern borders of Turkey via Anatolia. Source: KGM, Ministry of Transportation Figure 3.1.1 International Road Network through Turkey, 2007 In addition to the E-Roads, the Trans-European Motorway (TEM) project is ongoing and it covers the whole country as an expressway network. The TEM highway network in Turkey starts from Edirne at the Bulgarian border and passes through Istanbul via the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and parts into two branches in Ankara going eastward and southward. Its eastern branch again parts into two branches in Askale. One of them reaches Trabzon in the Black Sea Region, and the other ends in Gurbulak at the Iranian border.

  • My Trip to Turkey
    My Trip to Turkey World travel is an addiction. I know this because as a postal employee – with limited vacation time and an even shorter budget – I always find the means to pack up and go when the mood strikes me. Recently, I debated a co-worker over this very issue; he argued the act of traveling does not constitute a bona fide addiction. Oh, really? I countered. Last year I booked a trip to Peru on the very morning I was beginning a tour of China! How’s that for compulsive? And when I reached Peru, my fellow travelers suggested I go to Turkey and…well, you’re now reading the journal. The fact is, deep down, the true world traveler will go just about anywhere, and sometimes on a moment’s notice. This is clearly an addiction. So let me tell you about this ‘high’ called Turkey… After researching several online travel websites, I decided to visit Turkey in late March to avoid the large European seasonal crowds from mid-April on. The weather is also much cooler during this time of year, usually ranging from 40 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. As for the actual trip costs, I selected a 13-day air inclusive comprehensive package with GATE 1 Travel, which included all of their optional excursions (including a hot air balloon ride in the Cappadocia region) for under $2,800. My maximum daily budget for international trips is $250, so this particular tour fit nicely. I initially booked the trip in mid September. At the time, the situation in Turkey was ‘relatively calm’.

  • A Travel Guide to the Ancient City Istanbul City Guide
    ISTANBUL GUIDE A TRAVEL GUIDE TO THE ANCIENT CITY ISTANBUL CITY GUIDE An Istanbul city break is everything you could possibly wish for if you are looking for a break in a fascinating ancient city with a modern twist. It’s a place packed full of indulgent cuisine, exceptional architecture, rich culture, friendly locals and great vibe. THINGS TO SEE IN Istanbul is in a unique position, straddling two continents of Asia ISTANBUL and Europe. It was on the European side of the mighty Bosphorus Straights where the Byzantium, an ancient Greek colony was founded in 657 BC. Reintroduced to the world in 330 AD as the new capital of the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Constantine the Great, the city became known as Constantinople. Rapidly growing to become the wealthiest city in Europe, sitting at a hugely strategic point along the silk road trading routes between east and west. There are so many things to see and do here. It all depends on how long your Istanbul city break is going to be. Also, you should think of how you are going to tackle all the attractions and bunch them up into areas to save excessive journeys. Despite the sheer size, Istanbul is surprisingly easy to get around. We personally prefer to have a laid back visit, especially to big cities. Taking it easy is the only way to tame a city as huge as Istanbul. 2 We usually have a busy morning exploring the high ceiling and colonnades while bathing in the sights, then spend a couple of hours in the light of medieval chandeliers.
