Driverless CBTC ensuring a reliable service

This contract will not only enhance the existing infrastructure quality but also advance reliability, travel comfort and reduce maintenance cost for the operator.

Alstom, through Gulermak and Nurol Joint-Venture, will ensure that the 13-kilometre long UAG metro line will operate as a fully automatic and driverless system. The line, which will connect Marmaray, Uskudar-Umraniye-Cekmekoy-Sancaktepe and Kadikoy-Kartal-Kaynarca metro lines, will have 11 stations with the highest level of safety measures. The line will be compatible and interoperable with the the Dudullu-Bostanci Metro Line signalling system.

"We are thrilled to carry out our second largest signalling project in Istanbul within the last three months. As a leader of sustainable and innovative mobility, we are committed to continue advancing Istanbul's rail system network with our latest technology solutions."
