When the phase II project of the Metro Rail begins operation, trains running on phase I will not run in phase II and vice versa. While the phase I project is fully operational, covering 45 km, the phase II project, whose construction will start this year, will cover most of the areas in the city, totalling up to a distance of 118.9 km.

While phase I has four-coach trains, phase II will have three- and six-coach trains.More Related News
