Istanbul orders Hyundai Rotem trains for Line M2

摘要

Istanbul metropolitan municipality has placed a $US 93.3m provisional order with Hyundai Rotem for the supply of 17 four-car metro trains that will boost capacity on Line M2 between Yenikapi and Haciosman. The new trains will complement the line's existing fleet of 23 four-car Hyundai Rotem trains, which has experienced a spike in demand since the opening of the Marmaray tunnel for suburban services and the Line M1 interchange at Yenikapi. Demand is expected to continue to increase with the opening of Line M6 between Levent and Hisaruestue later this year.
