Why is the parking lot involved in the subway business? Why are luxurious and unnecessary station structures such as shopping malls built? Building such large structures underground will be both expensive and will result in bare concrete areas on the surface.
2 or 3 express tram lines isolated from highways were enough to Mersin. They cannot find 500 thousand passengers a day even in 20 years. Mersin is a make-up city that lives on pension, summer house rent and vending. That many people will not go to work by metro every day.
