Construction of the first full metro line started in 1991 and the first section between Taksim and 4. Levent opened after some delays in September 2000. All stations have escalators (of a total of 87 escalators, 16 are in Taksim) and an elevator to provide full accessibility for the disabled. The line has a capacity of carrying 70.000 people per hour per direction, currently there are 8 French built 4-car trains in service (GEC-Alsthom). A trip along the entire line takes 12 minutes. The metro was built by the cut-and-cover method to withstand earthquakes of up to 9 degrees. Stations look similar, although a different colour was chosen for each of them. Platform length is 180m. Total length of the metro line is 7.9 km with 6 stations. Track gauge on all different rail systems is 1435 mm.
The second section of the Metro from Taksim to Yenikapi, across the Golden Horn on a bridge and underground through the old city, is under construction. It will be 5.4 km long and have 4 stations. At Yenikapi it will intersect with the extended Hafif Metro and with suburban trains. Later it will be extended northwards from 4 Levent to Ayazaga.
The suburban rail lines (shown in black) are planned to be upgraded to full metro standard in the future. A tunnel under the Bosporus has been planned for some time.
The city's 2001 capital investment budget includes a branch from Otogar to Mahmutbey and Ikitelli Basak. Further plans include Aksaray-Yenikapi (link to Metro); Otogar - Sisli (10km); Halkali - Ikitelli - Olympic Vilage (8km); Yenibosna - Sefaköy - Avcilar - Beylidüzü (12km); Otogar - Esenler - Bagcilar - Mahmutbey (8km).
有个在土耳其留学的朋友帮助我在网上找到了这些图片。第二，三张图片是塔克西姆TAKSIM广场站，第四张是gayrettepe站。
上面英文的翻译如下：
伊斯坦布尔地铁一期工程（从塔克西姆TAKSIM到4勒温特4。LEVENT）从1991年开工到2000年九月完工。沿线所有车站拥有自动扶梯并有一个提供给残疾人的电梯（共87部扶梯，塔克西姆广场有16部）。这条线路每小时单向通行能力为70000人，现在线路上有4节编组共8趟法国阿朗斯通地铁列车在运营。现在乘坐地铁从起点到终点只要12分钟。此条线路采用“明挖填埋”法建造，抗震标准为9级。各个车站看上去基本一样，只是在颜色上有点区别。站台长度为180米。整条地铁线路为7.9公里，共设6个车站。轨道轨距为1435毫米。
二期工程从塔克西姆广场到耶尼卡皮站，由一座大桥连接穿过金角湾，在老城区为地下，现在正在建设中。二期共长5.4公里，设4个车站。在耶尼卡皮地铁将延伸与轻轨相接HAFIF METRO。再以后向北从4LEVENT延长到AYZAGA.
郊区线路（图中黑色线路）以后将升级为标准的地铁。将来还会有穿越博斯普鲁斯海峡的隧道。

此贴我已经在52BUS网站贴过。再一次转贴到这里，希望大家喜欢。因为以前听说伊斯坦布尔地铁是最短的地铁。现在我从事的工作使我认识很多土耳其的朋友，问过他们一些关于土耳其地铁和轻轨，有轨电车的问题。明年可能我要去埃及土耳其。有机会要去坐坐。埃及开罗的地铁据说还是男女分不同车厢的。

有意思，为什么没有车头？？
