Marmaray Project
“Metrobüs” (the BRTsystem of Istanbul), thefirst phase of which wascommissioned in 2007 byIETT with an aim toreduce the traffic volumeon the main arterial roadsand offer passengers arapid and comfortablejourney, has evolved to a52-km corridor with 44stations. It handlesapproximately 800,000trips per day.
BRT System (Metrobüs)
4 technical workshops with attendance from key managerial
and technical staff
Accessibility Analysis for the 10 km of extension of the BRT
corridor
Road Safety Inspection for the BRT Corridor of 52 km
