Speaking at the ceremony, Karaismailoğlu said that they were at an important turning point in Gayrettepe - Kağıthane - İstanbul Airport Metro, a special example of the ministry's investments in the city rail system.

We broke world records in the number and speed of tunnel digging machines in this project, where we performed the first rail welding on January 18 with your congratulations. We will also break the record we broke in construction speed at operating speed. In our 37,5-kilometer line, between 9 stations, first fully automatic and then our driverless trains will break the metro speed record at 120 kilometers per hour. Every day, 600 thousand of our fellow citizens will travel between Gayrettepe and Istanbul Airport in a short time of 35 minutes. This figure is more than the population center of many cities in Turkey. As our metro line crosses the borders of Beşiktaş, Şişli, Kağıthane, Eyüp and Arnavutköy districts, the urban road traffic will significantly reduce the traffic load. Passenger transportation on Gayrettepe-Kağıthane-Istanbul Airport line will be easier, more comfortable and faster. When this project is completed; At Gayrettepe Station, Yenikapı-Taksim-Hacıosman line and metrobus will be integrated into Başakşehir City Hospital from Kayaşehir Station on the Airport-Halkalı line, which is a continuation of this line and is under construction. With the Kabataş-Mecidiyeköy-Mahmutbey metro line, at the Istanbul Airport Station; Passenger transfer will be possible with the high-speed train line. Good luck. I would like to point out that; Our project is progressing with the measures we have taken against the Coronavirus (Kovid-19) epidemic, which deeply affects the whole world. Due to the Kovid-19 outbreak, we brought important regulations to social distance and hygiene rules in our tunnel excavations, employees' living areas.
