Istanbul unveils metro line to main airport

A new metro line connecting Istanbul to its main airport has opened to the public. With an end-to-end journey time of just 24 minutes, it's hoped the subway will also reduce road maintenance costs and air pollution. TRT World's Claire Herriot reports.

Just rode this train this past weekend. It’s pretty fast and clean, and wow is the airport far from the city (and pretty)! I hope they finish the transfer connection to the rest of the Metro soon, because that transfer right now was a pain 😂

Building a modern and efficient metro and subway system for a large city is NOT a luxury. It is a necessity for every big city. Istanbul should continue to expand its public transportation so that ALL its citizens can avoid the traffic if they want to and use public transport for efficient city life.

This train will benefit tourists and non-tourists in order to move from the airport to the city center and other cities. The benefit will return to the Turkish people as well as all of society, both tourists and non-tourists. Transportation from the airport to the city center must be facilitated, especially purchasing the card and how to put the money inside the card. Instructions must be put in place. To clarify for tourists, we hope to visit Istanbul soon, We hope that Turkish TV will provide instructions for everyone in all languages, as well as educate society not to throw waste into the sea, rivers and streets during my visit to Turkey in the year 2020 for a period of five months. Unfortunately, the majority did not respect the environment. The environment must be respected. This is the future of the Turkish people and all peoples without exception. Throwing waste and dirt in the streets. The community must be educated through schools and universities

[ProudPassport]

What’s with the narrator with Irish accent 😂 As a Turk living in the USA, I found that a bit bizarre.

[eggygenc]

Istanbul Europes Biggest/Largest City and one of the Biggest Cities in the World Megacity, Also there is another 35km of underground Metro that will join to this one that opened up

[smellyturk]

Are there any western countries which don't already have this at least 20 years ago ?
