In our country, especially in recent years, a significant amount of investment has been made in the railways and important steps have been taken towards becoming a preferred means of transportation for the train.

Marmaray, built with the world's deepest immersed tube tunnel technique, which is our dream of one and a half century, serves daily 170 thousand passengers between Akçeşme and Kazlıçeşme. There have been major changes in favor of YHT in passenger transport on the Ankara-Istanbul, Ankara-Konya and Konya-Eskişehir-Istanbul lines where we operate High Speed ​​Train (YHT). The number of passengers transported by rail between Ankara and Eskişehir increased from 8 to 72 with HHT, and daily passengers between Ankara and Eskişehir made Ankara and Eskişehir neighbors. Between Ankara and Konya, our organization, which has not previously received a share from passenger transport, has become 66 of the total passenger with YHT. Fast, safe and comfortable journeys started between Konya, the capital of the Seljuks and Ankara, the capital of the Republic. ”

Now our people want safer and more comfortable trains. There are legal problems with the line under construction between Istanbul and Çerkezköy. Therefore, there were some delays due to the tender and contract. However, with the latest tender and contract, this was overcome and the construction of the line was accelerated. In a short time, the Halkalı-Çerkezköy line will be opened and comfortable, secure and comfortable travel will be provided from Çerkezköy to Gebze. May the renewed Çerkezköy Uzunköprü Kapıkule regional train, which started operating today, bring good luck to all the people of the region. We also thank those who contributed.
