Istanbul, Türkiye's largest city, is famous for its traffic congestion. For example, it usually takes an hour and a half from the airport to the downtown. Musafesh, a senior journalist in Türkiye, took the front desk reporter to experience the new airport subway that opened this year. Because of this subway, it only takes 24 minutes from the airport to the city. Most importantly, the carriages of this subway are made in China!
The new subway connecting the airport and the urban area has an average daily traffic volume of 800000 people, a total length of 34 kilometers, and a speed of more than 120 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest subway in Türkiye. The first 10 trains are produced in China, while the second 15 trains are locally manufactured in Türkiye through cooperation between China and Turkey. In Musafesh's view, the cooperation between engineers from China and Türkiye is of great significance to the local industry.

Taxis are available everywhere, but in Istanbul, people can also take "sea taxis" to cross the Bosphorus Strait and travel between Europe and Asia. The head station reporter also experienced under the leadership of Musafesh, taking a "sea taxi" not only convenient and fast, but also enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Bosphorus Strait. What's even more surprising is that along the way, there are technologies from China to safeguard the travel of "sea taxis".
Musafesh said that the "offshore taxi" is equipped with an onboard monitoring system from China, which tracks the entire operation. Once a situation occurs, rescue teams will be immediately coordinated to come. Not only are there "sea taxis", but also 6400 small buses in Istanbul are equipped with this system. While ensuring driving safety, real-time passenger flow statistics can be carried out to reasonably dispatch vehicles during peak hours.

Experience Türkiye's high-speed railway: "To become rich, build roads first"
There are many modes of transportation between Istanbul, Türkiye's largest city, and Ankara, the capital. You can take a plane or drive. High speed railway gives people another choice. However, due to the mountainous terrain along the way, many bridges and tunnels need to be built, making high-speed rail construction extremely difficult. Among them, the second phase projects undertaken by the Chinese side mostly have granite terrain along the way, with complex geological structures and the greatest construction difficulty. But Chinese companies have completed the project with high quality, and the section of high-speed rail built has a total length of 158 kilometers and a designed speed of 250 kilometers per hour, all using European standards. The operation of the Anyi high-speed railway has shortened the travel time between the two places from 10 hours to 3.5 hours, increased freight capacity by 234%, and increased passenger capacity by 400%.

Musafesh said that many Turks also agree with the Chinese saying that "if you want to be rich, build roads first". Only with smooth roads and convenient transportation can people's lives and economic development be guaranteed.
