I would like to see and hear more about the security of using the marmaray. Perhaps it’s one find piece of public transportation to the graveyard.

This water tunnel is operated successfully by The State Directorate of Water Works since about 2 years now.

People seem to think it’s streets are paved with gold – maybe they are but it’s impossible to see them due to the number of vehicles using them. Having lived for two years and (thankfully) worked on the same side of the Bosporus, I have personally experienced the traffic which clogs the bridges during the rush hour.

This tunnel is a long-awaited artery which will hopefully ease the commute for many residents. All such projects will have critics, as I’m sure the first tube tunnels driven under the Thames in London did in those days.

The only thing I can say to Mr Solmaz in reply to his promise not to use the tunnels until certain issues are addressed: “Thank you, I will be able to sit in your place while you tackle the traffic on the bridge. Have a safe journey!” 🙂
