Have recently been to Istanbul. They really need to extend their service and build new lines. The city is so huge and highly populated, it can really take long to get around and especially the tram lines (mostly T1) was sometimes too full to get in. Still, was very interesting and they finished all of that within almost just 30 years

[@camron4705]

Currently Istanbul has 10 different metro line construction which makes Istanbul city with the most metro construction in the world. So in few years things gonna be really different in Istanbul with metros

[@kmmmsyr9883]

By the way, Marmaray's extension from Ayrılıkçeşmesi to Gebze is actually an interprovincial metro, since Gebze isn't a part of Istanbul, but a district of Kocaeli Province. This extension was necessary, since Gebze is the industrial hub of Turkey and many factory workers had to go from Istanbul's Anatolian half to work in Gebze after the government forced many industries out of Istanbul because of pollution.

[@nicholas9262]

This is actually one of the hardest places to build a metro, literally line 7 is literally 50 meters deep underground and then 200 meters later it's 20 meters on top of the city

[@yotoronto12]

Having been to Istanbul and used the metro and trams extensively there. I enjoyed their system and I found the expansion to be very pleasing compared to my own city Toronto. I think the main challenge in Istanbul for building and connection is the Bosphorus strait which is actually massive meaning the European and Asian side of their metros feels disconnected. A second major challenge is just how absuredly hilly the area it is. The last and how quickly the city has grown and is growing. Making a tunnel/bridge under/over the Bosphorus on the north side especially one north of 15th July Bridge would help despite engineering and cost challenge. Secondly, improving connections between tram lines to each other, metro station to metro stations, and tram stops to metro lines especially in the Golden Horde would help with ease of transfers and make getting to places like Haghia Sophia from elsewhere all the more easier. The city seems to have recognized and planned ahead on this but making sure lines are built based on future growth is a plus as well. Lastly, getting from Levant to lets say the Anatolian Fortress takes a very long time by bus, part of it is due to traffic but by improving the number the buses on the road would intensively help with travel time, crowding, etc....

[@emiroercan]

to go from Levent to Asia, just take M2 and leave in Gayrettepe(Zincirlikuyu). Then transfer to the Metrobus and you will be in Kadıkoy in less than 30 minutes. Edit: Taking a bus from Levet to Zincirlikuyu Metrobüs is much faster, there is a bus almost every minute. Google maps won't show Metrobus line in it's public transport mode but it is extremely useful and quite fast compared to any other mode of transport. Sometimes even faster than cars lol.

[@nicolasm.822]

Have been in Istanbul and really liked the care they put in the transportation service. I have never been to a metro station that was that clean, and even the train connecting to Gebze was so fast and clean as well. The busses may be a bit confusing but it’s usually good too. They also have a metro bus system, for the ones who wonder why there’s so little transportation to cross the Bosporus.

[@Montaguex]

Fun fact: Some parts of Marmaray (B1) like Gebze is in another city

[@blackbelt3559]

It's really weird to see each line making its own life without many interconnections or will to create a coherent network. Especially M4 and M5 fully on their own without any crossover with others metro lines. And why they have waited until 2014 to finally connect M1 + M2 metro lines ? Back in 2007, if you want to travel between line M1 and M2, you need to : - Leave M1 at Aksaray and taking T1. - Leave T1 at Kabatas and taking F1 to finally join M2 Taksim station. - Or even longer before T1 north extension : leaving T1 at Karaköy, taking F2 to Beyoglu and taking T2 to Taksim. x)

[@Geldigittigibiler]

It's mostly due to Istanbul's complicated geography. Istanbul lies on many hills and it's a city which is highly separated by rivers and the Bosphorus. The M4 and the M5 are not fully on their own, when we consider that both are connected to the Marmaray-network which is a suburban rail but functions like a metro. And you should not forget the efficient metrobus-network, which is not shown in this video but connects many metro-lines as well. At least, all lines are integrated to the system now but yes, in the early 2000s, it was not a coherent network.

[@nicolasblume1046]

There will be 2 lines in the future that will connect M4 and M5, look at Wikipedia

Great video, still completely ignores the fact that Istanbul had an extensive network of trams until Fatih and Beşiktaş (very similar to the “nostalgic” tram in Taksim) up until late 1950’s when the service was shut off due to being seen as “antique” and “slow”, and that was a trend around the world… They realized with the massive growth of the city, metro lines were the solution to go. With all the geographical, political and economic challenges; it is nothing short of amazing how in 30 years all the infrastructure has been bulit and serves the city with reliable transportation.

As someone from Istanbul, I can definitely confirm that Istanbul really is the center of Metros. Has a history of tramways since 1875. I live between the M4 Kozyatağı and Marmaray Suadiye stations. There are always signs on bridges and construction site walls about "how Istanbul is the city with most Metros under construction at the same time in the world". And topped off with an image of the current mayor İmamoğlu. I remember using Marmaray sometimes, the last time I used it was on a Friday, in May or June. The M8 Metro line will yet again probably cross very close to my house. And last of all, congratulations. This was an amazing video teaching me and other viewers the history of raillines in Istanbul.

Я впечатлён неимоверной скоростью строительства. А по-другому и не сказать, для мегаполиса с 15 млн жителей и туристической привлекательностью метро сильно нужно, поэтому быстро строят. Жаль, что так быстро в Санкт-Петербурге не строят. Перспективы только на коричневую и продление оранжевой на Васильевский остров ещё верится. А остальное всё в тумане (не факт, что построят), особенно кольцевая линия. Если бы турки начали строить в исторический центр метро раньшеб, то построили бы. А сейчас, когда центр включён в список всемирного культурного наследия ЮНЕСКО и находится под защитой, линии не проложишь. В Москве так же, станция Александровский Сад примыкает к Кремлю, дальше ЮНЕСКО не даёт.

[@deadwing04]

I was in Istanbul in 2016. I'm surprised about the scale of extensions and new lines since then, I'm impressed!

[@TutkoCumhuriyeti]

MetroCucumber, Could you please record the Istanbul Metro History between 2022 and 2029?

[@keremalicihan8844]

It would be interesting.

[@napabilirim]

There is actually a map about it on Metro Istanbul's official website

[@AAGul]

That is not history, it's future project

[@TutkoCumhuriyeti]

​@@napabilirim samet türksen anlarsın dediklerimi metro istanbulun web sitesini ben de biliyorum ama adam acaba dediğimi yapabilir mi diye sordum inşallah yapar amin

[@QuarioQuario54321]

I would have shown the two commuter lines that predated Marmaray and metrobus

[@HakanTunaMuzik]

In have been going Istanbul a lot since 2000 and what they have done in such a short space of time is actauly quite amazing, the one thing that would change my life when I am there is if they finally open the Bahceshir station, I have family and friends there and stay there a lot and it's still a pain to get into town.

[@user-wq8xd4nb4l]

Классно сделал, очень интересно смотреть 💯

[@blagoevski336]

Amazing

[@metrojijett2168]

Как всегда на высоте!

привет, думаю ты меня помнишь) у тебя очень классный и оригинальный стиль, продолжай!

[@ni-ro]

イスタンブールの地下鉄の歴史が長いことは分かってたけどまさか次の路線の開業が100年後とは(ﾟﾛﾟ;)

[@Lord-ov2gf]

there was actually tram lines that were removed in 1960s

[@theo3357]

addition to the old tram lines, all of the marmaray was there except the intercontinental tunnel, all the way to the start of 20th century

[@TurbocrafterG]

I like your videos

[@saidbonifacio]

I really like your work, please make a video of the mexico city subway

[@Nina-ed2ju]

The video has been uploaded by MetroLiner and DirectionNorth

[@user-uh7rm5sd3w]

Видео так аккуратно, современно сделано, я смотрел историю Московского метро на твоем канале, и эта история выглядет круче и современней чем история Московского метро

[@user-hv8du5wl1o]

Ура новое видео!

[@sergenyalcn]

Although you are foreign person, you did the transportation network of my city. Thank you man. I liked this video

[@muhammeddestek]

by the way in 19th century istanbul had lots of tram lines as fatih-harbiye.

[@kim.dongmin]

How did you do the animation of metro? There is any programm to make it?

[@augustln]

Привет из Алматы и очень хочется увидеть будущее моего метро. Очень классное видео, не представляю сколько сил было сложено в него!

[@kemalal9913]

Video için çok teşekkürler kalite için de. Bir öneri olarak hatların nasıl bağlanabileceği ya da genişletilebileceğine dair video çekerseniz daha harika bir iş çıkarmış olursunuz. Gelecek yıllarda istanbul metrosu sizce nasıl olacak?

[@kayaguvendi]

Metro Istanbul sitesindeki vizyon haritasini inceleyebilirsiniz. IBBnin 7 yil kadardir, gelecek ihaleleri dahil, az degisiklik haric tutularak, sadik kaldigi bir plan yillari haric.

[@istanbulpublictransport2708]

Now M1 Kirazlı and M3 Başakşehir Metrokent Kirazlı metro are opened for free transfers at Kirazlı station

[@slw_wk]

А чего перезалил? А так невероятно прикольно вышло! Снова обнова в дизайне) и я все еще жду историю и перспективы метро Хельсинки)

[@vd3975]

Сначала доступ был по ссылке.

[@metrocucumber]

У ролика был плохой старт, со стороны ютуба. Ну и сразу нашлись небольшие ошибки. Поэтому перезалив :)

[@slw_wk]

@@metrocucumber спасибо)

[@ozanemekter2693]

The BRT line (Metrobus), although not a rail line, plays a crucial role in this network and is usually included in travel maps. So some seemingly isolated lines here are actually connected by BRT, but it's admittedly not an efficient mode of transport at all.

[@ozanemekter2693]

@K-Tech Zincirlikuyu'dan Beylikdüzü'ne gitmek verimli yanı, yani güzergahı çok mantıklı ondan bahsetmiyorum. Zaten bu İstanbul'un en yüksek talepli güzergahlarından biri, metroların bazılarından bile daha yüksek talepli bir hat, ama metrobüs metrodan çok daha küçük kapasiteli, bu da aşırı yoğunluğa neden oluyor. Ha ama metro yer altından hani inşaatı zor olabilir özellikle de boğaz bölgesinde sıkıntı o kısmını bilemem. Ancak metro yapılamayacaksa ve illa yol üzeri yapılması gerekiyorsa hafif raylı sistemle kıyaslanabilir. Metrobüs hafif raylı sisteme göre daha az kapasiteli, daha fazla enerji harcıyor, harcadığı enerji türünden dolayı doğaya daha zararlı, daha konforsuz, daha çabuk yıpranıyor ve değiştiriliyor; tek avantajı ilk başta inşaat maliyetinin daha az olması ve boğaz köprüsünde normal yolu kullanması. HRS yapılsa boğazda napılırdı bilemiyorum ya birer şerit raya döndürülürdü ya da köprü bağlantısı yine otobüsle yapılabilirdi.

[@bruh-hr1mt]

@K-Tech metrobüsüz beylikdüzüne vb gidememek bence kendi içinde bir sıkıntı

[@turcarumimperator1395]

metorbüs çok daha farklı bir proje oalcaktı ama seçime yetiştirmek için projenin önemli kısımları iptal edildi. şu anki hali aslında tamamlanmamış bitirilmemiş hali.

[@YED05]

İstanbul metro konusunda biraz geç kalsa bile hızlı ilerliyoruz, inşallah 2050 yakın 700 km yakın bir mesafelik bir metro ağı olacaktır 🇹🇷 İstanbul'dan selamlar 🇹🇷

[@emircansahin34]

İnşallah ilerde olur bazen görüyorum bazi hatlar yavaş ilerliyor ya da durduruluyormus . Bi an önce Sefaköy Beylikdüzü başlaması lazim

[@fuatyldz8140]

2029 sonu 600 km 2029 sonrası 800 2050 arası yaklaşık 1000 km

[@napabilirim]

2029'dan sonra 800 kilometre olacak

[@ARCADER_RAPPER]

Bence 2050,ye kadar 3000 km,yi aşarlar teknoloji acayip hızla gelişiyor belki o zamanlar 3-5 senede kazdıkları tünelleri 6 ay 1 senede kazacaklar -25 senede neler olur neler dünya değişiyor her gün

[@idontexist1681]

Metro çoğu büyük şehrimize acil lazım, karayolu yapmayı bırakıp tren yapsak çok daha iyi olacak

[@Kir_Y]

352! метрокукумбер топ! Удачи в следующих видео

[@cnarascoglu9762]

I see you include tramways too, is there any reason that you didnt mention the old tram network of the city, and also the old banlieue routes. Your video does a great job covering the modern metro system of istanbul but I wish you did a better job covering the history.

[@belugajr.5718]

Hey mate. Very nice work but i have a question for you. Why you didnt include the old commuter train lines? thx.

[@doiccerik4525]

They removed those in the late 50s, so maybe he didn't feel putting over 50 lines just to delete them later

[@defnerona6073]

there are 5 more new lines to be opened till 2024 and that makes me really happy

[@shaunizzkool]

Please do NYC subway (MTA) history and future maps please! Can you also do Paris metro!

[@compdude100]

I agree, I'd love to see that!

[@markmcdowell3197]

One other component unique and crucial to Istanbul is water traffic. It would be interesting to at least show those connections on the map as they are very economical and comfortable.
