According to Mayor of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality Tunç Soyer: “We want to unload the train in March or April at the latest and make the first test flights. After that, we intend to open in August or September. Unfortunately, these economic conditions also bend our backs. It is said that there is a fire in the kitchen, it is true, but there is a fire in the kitchen of the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality. We also have very heavy costs, but we have not collapsed because we have a strong financial structure, we are standing. We continue. We aim to open both Narlıdere Metro and Çiğli Tram in 2023. Meanwhile, Buca Metro started. It was also our big dream, the biggest project in Izmir history. Gaziemir-Karabağlar metro project is also ready. We said we will weave our city with iron nets, we are knitting.”
Emphasizing of the attractivity of the rail system as a transportation system in every respect, the President Tunç Soyer asserted: “It is a very clean mode of transportation. The top of the city became very chaotic. Tire-tired vehicles, buses, automobiles jammed the traffic. If we open a channel from below, we will relieve the above. We will provide people with a more modern, more comfortable transportation opportunity. The cost is also falling. In the long run, it is both economically attractive, very attractive in terms of urban comfort and quality of life, and cleaner. After all, we also worry about carbon emissions. In the future, this will create much more serious problems for us. As in the whole modern world, we need to move transportation underground as much as possible.”
“We find light and hope from you, young people. You are the owners of this country,” added President Soyer.
Noting that he always intended for politics in his youth, Soyer said: “I was keeping a diary when I started university. I wrote in my diary that I would definitely do politics and that there were things I wanted to say about Turkey. Actually, it starts in the second grade of secondary school, my questioning of life, of my hometown. I never gave up on it. For me, politics is the art of transforming life. Politics is a really big and valuable business. Don’t look at it getting this ugly. This is not politics; to make people smile, to improve, to beautify life. Something about that is politics. None of this is fate. We can build a completely different life in these lands. We are in a paradise land.”
