In order to reach the target of Turkey for the year of 2023 shown as 500 billion dollars of export figures and the way to create costs that are competitive with the world, will be the suitability of transportation costs. This opportunity will only be able to be provided by railway transportation, which has the capacity to carry large quantities of goods. As a result of the initiatives that have turned into a new railway mobilization in recent years, the railway construction in our country, which declines from 134 km to 18 km per year, has reached 135 km per year. On the other hand, in terms of applications in urban logistics; in Istanbul, which is among the most crowded cities in the world, public transportation is emphasized to solve the transportation problem. The introduction of secondary systems integrated with the main rail system lines, lower capacity subways, light subways, trams, monorail-air rails, funicular and other simple systems are on the agenda of the relevant institutions.
