The M4, officially referred to as the M4 Kadıköy - Sabiha Gökçen Airport metro line (Turkish: M4 Kadıköy–Sabiha Gökçen Havalimanı metro hattı), is a 33.5-kilometre (20.8 mi), 23-station[2] rapid transit line of the Istanbul Metro. It is colored deep pink on the maps and route signs. Running between Kadıköy and Sabiha Gökçen Airport, it is the first rapid transit line operating on the Asian side of Istanbul. The M4 mostly runs under State road D100, parallel to the Istanbul-Ankara railway and is entirely underground.
History
[edit ]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 Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[5] On 29 October 2013, with the opening of Marmaray rail service under the 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
[edit ]The M4 has a total of 23 stations in operation, with 6 more under construction.
