⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Exploring Istanbul's M1 Metro Line
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Line M1, officially referred to as the M1 Yenikapı-Atatürk Airport/Kirazlı metro line, is a rapid transit line of the Istanbul Metro. Opened in 1989, it was the first rapid transit line in Istanbul and Turkey, and its opening started the revival of mass-transit in Turkish cities.
The M1 consists of two train services, M1A and M1B. Both services run on the same line from Yenikapı to Otogar, where the M1B branches off to Kirazlı, while the M1A continues on the original line to Istanbul Atatürk Airport. The M1 has 23 stations in service, of which 11 are underground and 3 elevated, and has a total length of the line is 26.8 kilometers (16.7 mi). Even though the M1 is fully grade separated, it is considered a light metro line, due to the relatively low passenger capacity compared to other lines of the system.
Since this line is the oldest modern rail line in İstanbul, it has relatively old vehicles, produced by ABB in 1988. These cars are slated to be replaced as part of a major modernization program planned for the line. Enjoy!

Taken in December 2022 and January 2023.
Huh, these trains look a lot like smaller versions of Vienna's old metro trains !
I saw that
Some of them used to operate in the T4 high platform tram line. After the M1B branch opened they ceased operating there.
Even they used to operate in T1 line.
@@rdgnstar In the old times, yeah.
Interesting video! Didn't know the Istanbul metro has some german 'Stadtbahn' style trains too!
Yeah infact they are not german theyre austrian. Made by SGP and are the small brothers of the Vienna Type U and the Vienna Type U is the small brother of the Munich Type A, cuz the Type U got developed out of the A
@@can0913 I was about to ask if these trains were made also by the same company that built the Vienna Type U, because they're very similar xDDDD It's almost the same model, with the exception of the power supply, I see. Because in Vienna is third rail and in Istanbul M1 line is overhead wire.
@@TheRailwayMermaid 😂 Yeah they are. Infact the original Type U even had the same motors and electrical parts like the munich type A. But since the original Type U got modernized into U2 they lost all they charm :(. But you can have the same feeling still here in Munich :D
@@can0913 kanka bu metroların ismi modeli ne şimdi abb 1988 diyolar da aratıyom istanbul m1 dışında hiçbişe çıkmıyo tam olarak model ismi ne bunların, ve sadece Türkiyeye mi özel bu model trenler başka ülkelerin metrolarında hiç yok mu bunla tamamen aynı olan, viyanadakinin sesini filan çok benzetemedim farlar benziyor bi
Great system. Thanks DJ Hammers😀💚
Fun fact: M1a branch is similar to a light rail system but the M1b branch is similar to a metro system.
Your video has been very beautiful Greetings from Turkey a slightly newer version of these trains is also used in the city of Izmir
How do you become a train operator do I have to be a channel Member because I don’t have no Join button it just doesn’t show up
Interesting formation of trains, they appear to be made up of articulated cars, like the DLR, however unlike the DLR the trains are formed of four units, and also unlike the DLR there are only 3 driving positions in the formation.
Nice vid
Do you plan to visit Ankara?
How long is a trainset with 4 units?
this line is the first metro of istanbul
No it's not. "Tunel" line is the oldest.
@@orfb27 it doesnt count as a metro.Its a funicular.
@@omeryy3507 Technically, it's a metro tho
@@orfb27 Funicular metro :D
İstanbul m1 metrosu çok konforsuz ve iğrenç

Comment sections aren't competitions. It doesn't matter who gets the first.
@@Xpninjadan I don’t care
@@Michael_afton698 And no one cares if you're the first comment.
@@Xpninjadan Apparently people do that’s just your opinion because I’m getting notifications from my other video saying that I’m not first one I am so that’s just your opinion
@@Michael_afton698 People like you that brag about being first are the stupidest. No one cares. Comment sections aren't competitions. Grow up if you think that matters.
