The M4, officially referred to as the M4 Kadıköy - Sabiha Gökçen Airport metro line (

Istanbul-Ankara railway
and is entirely underground.

History

A plan to build a subway line on the Asian side of İstanbul was approved in 2005. In 2008, a €751 million construction contract was awarded to a consortium of Astaldi, Makyol and Gülermak. The rolling stock was ordered from the Spanish company CAF.[3] In mid-2010, the construction of the tunnels was completed and the track laying started. The route has connections with TCDD's Marmaray system at Ayrılıkçeşmesi and the Istanbul Metrobus system at Ünalan. The scheduled opening date was December 2011 up to Kartal, but it was postponed because of signalization works.[4]

The M4 opened on 17 August 2012 with a large ceremony in Kadıköy, attended by

Bosphorus, Ayrılık Çeşmesi station was opened to allow passengers to transfer between lines.[6][7] On 10 October 2016, 3 new stations were added to the line (Yakacık Station, Pendik Station and Tavşantepe Station).[8] On 2 October 2022, 4 new station were added to the line (Fevzi Çakmak Station, Yayalar Station, Kurtköy Station and Sabiha Gökçen Airport Station). Thus, the length of the line reached 33.5 km.[9]

Stations

The M4 has a total of 23 stations in operation, with 6 more under construction.
