The F3, also known as the Vadistanbul Monorail (Turkish: Vadistanbul Havaray, meaning Vadistanbul Air-rail) and officially referred to as the F3 Vadistanbul-Seyrantepe funicular line (Turkish: F3 Vadistanbul-Seyrantepe füniküler hattı), is a 750 m (2,460 ft) long funicular railway in Sarıyer, Istanbul.[2] The line is one of four funicular railways in Turkey, all of them in Istanbul, and is the only one that operates above ground. Because the F3 runs along a concrete viaduct, it has been advertised as a Monorail even though it is technically a funicular railway. The route runs between Vadistanbul and Seyrantepe, where connection to the M2 line is available.[citation needed ]
The F3 was opened on 29 October 2017.[citation needed ]
Overview
[edit ]
The F3 route runs in southern Sarıyer, just west of Maslak. The large majority of the route is elevated with a concrete viaduct and consists of two stations. The northwest terminus of the F3, Vadistanbul station, is located within a glass Spheroid structure that connects to the 2nd floor of the Vadistanbul Shopping Center.[3] The southeast terminus, Seyrantepe station, is located underground on the northern side of the O-2 expressway. A tunnel underneath the expressway connects to the M2 station.[4] The route is mostly single track, except for a short 147 m (482 ft) long double-track section in the middle allowing trains to pass one another. The total construction cost of the line was € 15 million.[4]
